While I agree whole-heartedly that this is an excellent idea,
it doesn't work for exotic woods.  I sincerely doubt that 
rosewood, teak, or pink ivory can be grown successfully in most of
countries on the net.  Therefore, I am still interested in finding
out how responsible other countries are about raping their own
forests.

(Or perhaps we would be doing those countries a favor by removing
all their trees; then the nasty Marxist revolutionary guerillas would
have fewer places to hide. :-)
