[quote:Anonymous Coward 82504804:MV81MTU3Mjg0Xzk0NzE0OTA2XzdEOENBMjJB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 82911518:MV81MTU3Mjg0Xzk0NzE0NzgzX0NGQTFGMUE3] Lowes in my area sells 2x4 x10 @$10 / taxed/, placed online order .Come to pick up and was presented basically mill scraps , more hole knots than teenager face , bowy plain junk . When they shut down country they let chosen ones make killing on sales , set any price they want [/quote] If you buy lumber regularly, consider getting to know a local sawmill operator. We can't stay in business selling junk like box stores. My prices are cheaper and I don't charge sales or lumber taxes. If you need graded lumber, you can hire a grader or even stamp it yourself (different rules apply in different jurisdictions, but generally most counties have a list of graders they accept). We also don't usually source our logs from these commercial farming operations but rather from naturally grown logs that got removed as part of utility trimming, for example. My fir has much tighter grain than anything you can buy at home depot. [/quote]
Original Message
Lumber dealers have experienced a seesaw of emotions over the past couple of years.
During the pandemic, supply chain issues and a rise in home projects caused lumber prices to skyrocket.
But a shifting macroeconomic environment has left many dealers stumped, per WSJ, with lumber futures dropping 52% since early March.
