We have a few hundred acres of loblolly pines, ready to harvest. Some old growth, big timber. 40-60 year old pretty stuff. Price is terrible locally, just no competition. I do not understand how/why this has not trickled down into timber prices? My grandfather says don’t give it away, rather see it fall and rot.

It’s gotta trickle down, eventually, right!?

He's not the one calling the shots it's president Harris , has been from the start. They just wake old Joe up to sign his name when needed and Put him in front of a camera as little as they can get by with.

Its the terrific on Canadian lumber that is driving your prices up. Get used to it cause old Joe ain't gonna make any changes in the near future.

I bought more today. Picking up more here and there as I can. Paid $19.99 plus 5.5 percent sales tax on a box of twenty 5.56.

Same here and I'm in the middle of remodeling a 2 store house.

How is Canadian lumber driving US prices up when we already have a huge amount of excess timber? I don’t pretend to understand the market, but that doesn’t make sense.

You hoarder you lol. I picked up some 5.56 green tip Winchester last week, box of 150 for a hundred bucks.

Google it. Lots to read, from all sorts of US publications.

Supply & demand. Ain't pretty. Always happens. Dog eat dog. No one in the chain pays more than they have to.

Canadian lumber is priced extremely low because most of the timber is cut on Crown lands. The government sells the standing timber at extremely cheap prices to the sawmills. It is considered a government subsidized commodity since the government sells it so cheap. The US considers that to be unfair to the US timber companies that have to pay market price for their timber. That causes Canadian lumber to be cheap, so when the flow of that timber decreases the demand in the US goes up, and/or when the US government places tariffs on the lumber the price goes up.

Talked to a gym floor installer today.
He said his supplier said prices won't come down for quite some time.
Stock up now he said.

Waggler Just checked with our local lumber yard, which always has good prices. Things are not cheap here.

2x4x8 $10.00 2x6 $13.50 7/16 OSB $60.00 3/4 plywood $89.90

GAS 1.26 litre (approx 4 litre per 1 U.S gallon)

^^^^^^^^
About the same price as here for a 2x4xstud; $10CD x 0.78 = $7.80USD

Your gasoline prices are terrible though, but I imagine a lot of that is due to taxes;1.26x0.78 = $0.983 x 3.785L = $3.72 per US gallon.
And I'll bet that is pretty cheap even by Canadian standards, I think it's close to $5.00USD in Vancouver right now.

Just trying to remain competitive with you guys. I'm new to the AR game. What's up with the "green "tip" ammo? How is it different from FMJ and should I have some?

It might help us during the midterms. I heard on the radio this morning that Harris is taking most of the calls coming in from foreign leaders. Everyone seems to know Biden isn't up to it.

As a logger I picked out some of the highest quality logs this winter to have a local guy with a bandsaw cut into lumber because the sawmills are not paying enough yet. Hardwood logs paid $300 a cord hardwood saw bolts $160 a cord and popple bolts $120 a cord, spruce and pine saw logs $110 a cord. Over the years lumber has been so cheap in the stores it cost more to have your own sawed but not the case anymore. 2x4x8’ costs me about $2.50

For argument sake. The world trade organization chose that in fact it is not subsidized and ruled with Canada but instead reflects market value such as Canadian provincial governments say. . The US government claims it is subsidized but then again that is the same government that works for the billionaire lumber barons that get more rich off of middle class Americans.

I remember when ALGORE promised if elected, that he'd stop all logging on National Forests.

it was about that time I saw a "Carpenters for Gore, Local xxxx" bumper sticker on a car.

can't fix "stupid"...
