That is why some people prefer this style of kit. Stocking and choosing sheet and stick wood for each kit is a PITA for manufacturers to do, it takes time and personal effort that can't be avoided. Not efficient at all and securing a consistent supply of wood is hard on a production basis. If they skip this step, you get to pick your own wood and be as choosy as you like with it. You get a cheaper kit, because you don't buy parts you don't want and they get a much simpler manufacturing process. Works well on both ends. There are a fair number of suppliers that do this and it works out very well, I like it myself.
