True and a lot depends on the builder. It's my opinion that Jim Olson could make almost any wood combo sound spectacular. But at some point, some well known builder will take a plunge if they think it has a viable market. Someone like Bob Taylor, who is such an environmentalist, will start to take a hard look at composite material IF they think they can turn a good profit.
