These timbers are costly to buy, often because they are rare and hard to source.

There are other factors to consider when choosing a timber based on price alone.

For example workability can have an impact on the overall cost of a product made from wood.

A relatively inexpensive timber could be costly to machine.

Plus the on-going costs need to be considered. If the wood is to be used externally the cost to treat, protect and maintain would need to be factored.
