As I said, not 100% sure it was cowboy that I found the nail in.

Regardless, cowboy is still flavorless junk made from kiln dried scrap to me and I won't use it (and judging by commentary a number of places elsewhere, that seems to be a fairly comment sentiment). I can get better for less money elsewhere.

And Lazzari is never a problem since their entire operations is right out here in the bay area. You used to be able to, and I believe you still can, just drive up to the factory and buy in bulk (like shovel the stuff into the bed of a pickup truck bulk) at a very low rate. You used to even be able to get some woods that they don't distribute commercially, or only very limited distro.
