I could see importing some exotic hardwood from Cambodia (if they have any), but why is is cost effective to make shitty plywood with anything other than cheap locally sourced timber ?!
- legitster 2y agoIt's not construction plywood - it's manufactured flooring. So you need fancy hardwoods for the veneer.
- onlypassingthru 2y agoBecause of collusion. Believe it or not, it's cheaper on the US west coast to buy some types of Russian* and Vietnamese plywood than it is US sourced sheets. The US plywood cartel is alive and well, apparently. * sanctions, you say? what are sanctions?
- hedora 2y agoThat cartel was apparently involved in Trump's tariffs on Canadian lumber. They increased the cost of building a new house around here by over 20%. We have a few $100 sheets of plywood laying around from back then.
