[QUOTE="TexasSportsman, post: 1996487, member: 115081"] The manufacturers may not be offering new products with wood stocks so that void is filled by companies like Boyd. They offer a huge selection of wood stocks. Many of them can pass as OEM. There are so many varieties of wood that have become illegal to import so the manufactures are always looking for new types of wood as replacement. Wood that used to be in abundance at one time can now be considered threatened species when forests are clear cut for development. The Gibson guitar company was busted not long ago for having illegal wood. Can you imagine a manufacturer spending $$$ on a team to continually research what species of wood they can and cannot import. Researching laws in this country and countries around the world. They'd have to travel the world instead of buying the raw material sight unseen.
