It dramatically increases the cost.  They need to be hand wrapped in think layers of silk so as not to splinter.

Anyone ever notice how the internet can be such a penrose staircase sometimes?

Google for xyz.
First 5 results are form topics/quora questions/stack exchange threads/whatever where someone is asking exactly your question.
The responses all say "Google for xyz"

K9 units are so full of themselves.  Prima donnas in a DO NOT PET vest.

I don't understand.  The wood is for burning, right?  Why do you need to pay so much for what is essentially fuel?  You buy it, it goes into the fire very soon.  Who cares how it looks?

That's OK, Mono.  This is how I feel when I come across Chinese humor goofing on shit I know nothing about.  Just sitting there, blinking.

Lots of people spend a ton of stuff like cars, watches, paintings and whatnot.  I buy things that I shouldn't buy too.  But going crazy on firewood is something that I have never heard of.  I am beginning to suspect that the whole thing is a joke of some sort.

Sorry, the David Brooks jargon makes me wince.

[Admiral Yi]

You're a delicate flower.

[Capetan Mihali]

I'm sorry, I mean no harm, but the David Brooks Smug-Factor is like kryptonite to me.  Can't stand Thom. Friedman either, as far as that goes.

[Admiral Yi]

Does smug just mean mocking things that you hold dear?

There's some sort of anime convention near my work. Seeing all these cosplayers is a little unnerving

Scantily clad teenagers are unnerving now?

An obese male teenager posing as Sailor Moon is unnerving, yes. Meta? Sure...
