Pay as you go worked best for me. Sense I've been building don't spend as much on other things. I like the 1088 mahogany the best smooth as a babies butt. Supply is gd in Oregon Prices have not gone up like fur.  Been using Sapele mahogany for the lumber. If you have a jonter and planner I pay around 5.00 a board ft. Been. Using systems 3  a little pricey but been using it for the last 20 years and works great for me. And Miller paint sells it near me. If you ask some places will give you a cash commercial account.
