I am so fucking fed up with the quality of materials at craft stores, hardware stores, online retailers, just all over.Flat craft wood pieces used to be carvable, cutable solid wood. Not good wood at all or anything but today- laminate layers chip and flake and you can't get a square shape. Then the paint or stain soaks layers apart. WTF.Can't go to Lowes or Home Depot and find ANYTHING in any bin related to it's size or material correct. Not a single piece of flat or rod stock is marked correctly.I watched a blanket enthusiast at Michaels straight pull yarn apart by hand out of bundles.Lumber isn't even close to straight in big pieces, and FULL of knots.Blacktop is fully a stage rougher than it used to be with top and fine binder being respectively in real terms unscreened top binder and rough bonded bed.Godamnit I hate this cheapshit "technically real" materials market all over.
Welcome to the decline.
