This is what $2k of cabinet-grade oak plywood and hardwood looks like in 2021. This is all for a custom library bookcase (with sliding ladder) that I am building for a record shop.
I was worried about being mugged on the way home. a couple of gents in contractor trucks looked at me with jealousy in the hearts and a semi-attractive soccer mom batted her eyes at me, but I knew it was my plywood she wanted and not the contents of my overalls.
