Shannon's Lumber Industry Update · 55 – Lumber Prices…Yet Again

Lumber Prices Dropping but still high

On this episode I'm revisiting lumber prices yet again as the craziness may be nearing an end. But I predict pricing will never return to pre COVID levels. It seems the Fed agrees with me too. There are so many factors that affect lumber prices and the pandemic has touched every one of them.  Also on this show some Lacey Act changes, Pallet wood, equilibrium moisture content, White Oak, and matching veneer.

Lumber Industry News

  • The Fed thinks the Lumber market is a model for the overall economy
  • New Lacey Act additions begin enforcement October 1: Pallets Included now

Listener Questions

  • Daniels asks why slabs are price so high per board foot
  • Sterling asks how to measure equilibrium moisture content
  • Philip asks is Southern White Oak is an actual thing
