> Moreover cabinetmakers in the past often relied on cheap stocks of solid wood.
A luthier I met in Berlin had a large stock of wood in their workshop. I asked him what it was for, and he said "oh, that's my supply for the next 10 years, I add to it every year to keep it about the same size".
Granted, luthiers use less wood than a cabinet maker.
