Chong, it's because they don't grow well for me. Caoba is really really really rare; I'm talking upwards of $100 US a board foot. Guapinol is less scarce, maybe $30 a board foot.

The companies that are speculating in these trees are doing one of two things:
1) They have their own plantations, and
2) They're poaching.
