Yes, but that's the bulk in-tree price. I'm quoting finished lumber. The difference between the two is often astounding. Here, Ahuano (tropical mahogany) is $15 per cubic meter in situ, and nearly $60 a board-foot for finished lumber. The poachers or timberers make a bare subsistence wage, and the mills take the lion's share.
