Final update: found a nice piece of 2x4 planed (for the upright) that was around 3' long with a fractured break at one end. Took it to be priced. Scanned at $14 for the original and the lumber-man told the cashier to "put in 25". I assumed that meant 25% of the scan, or $3.50, which sounded reasonable. It actually meant 25c, which didn't seem too bad, either
Paid a lot more for the box-parts as there was nothing suitable in the off-cuts trolley, but ended up with two smart-looking bluebird boxes that I'm sure will attract a long line of prospective renters.
