yah... And more to the point: to find that sort of wood means going back in time.
I guess the bottom line is that many people from the Strad era had access to the same woods but Strad had a great ear and access to much tested and maybe proprietary chems involved in the process. And there is no doubt that Strads do have a construction advantage that was due to his diligent experience.
To recreate that passion to sound with inferior construction materials is a losing proposition unless modern techniques can use available materials to match or better the old school.
