Another issue is rail capacity for transporting lumber from sawmills. Even if the sawmills were able to ramp up and massively increase their supply, we could run into a bottleneck with transport. The mills typically sign contracts with rail companies ahead of time (based on projected demand) and it's not likely they could all of the sudden get double the number of trains if supply went up.
