Good idea, will do. Right now for simplicity's sake we just have the wood species not affect pricing even though they greatly vary in cost to us. We're coming out with some really gorgeous burled woods soon that are a bit pricier -- we'll probably add variable pricing based on wood species once those choices are available.

As a former woodworker, I thought that might be the case. :)

There's also a lot to be said for pricing simplicity, though. You might consider just having a "premium woods" option that gives you access to the high end veneers, rather than passing costs directly along. If you make it more complicated, you'll also cause people to do a bunch of re-renders, which may wind up costing you more (and causing people to get bored and give up).

I don't envy you the task of working with fraction-of-an-inch wide irregular-edged burl veneer strips!

I was impossibly confused until I realized you meant to write "noprocrast". As in "no procrastination".

Thanks for pointing that out! I don't think I have ever written the word procrastination myself, so wasn't even aware of the spelling mistake I made.
