Mills are the issue, not timber. There's an excess of raw timber right now, all of the wood from the wildfires in the PNW last year is being salvaged currently.

- idiotsecant 6y agoit's not just firewood supplies (not sure how much that impacts the market, and the PNW has a more or less permanent fire season each year now anyhow) - The market has been glutted with raw timber for a decade. There has been a huge oversupply for quite a while. This continues to today - just because lumber mills are making money hand over fist doesn't mean raw timber producers are.
