Yes, ah, no, ah.. yes.. When we get down to a piece or two of a species that has currently low demand, I pull it from the list instead of buying more that will sit for a decade or two.

In Tops, I sell way more Ebony and Cocobolo than I ever did Bubinga. In the old days when I first had figured Shedua, it too sold way more than Bubinga. Not that I have a good load of Shedua, mostly figured, we are using it in place of Bubinga in necks and offering it in its place for Tops as well.
