Atlanta GA Lumber Prices up 35% This Year, 60% Since Last Year

Lumber and OSB prices are up sharply this year, due to few mills still being operational and limited supply of logs. We have probably seen the lows for the year already in SPF lumber, which has taken a huge jump, and is up over 60% from last year. Wet weather in Southern Yellow Pine producing areas has severely limited the harvesting ability of loggers. Logs for OSB and plywood are also limited, and will continue to be until the producing areas dry out. A small increase in new home starts has severely taxed the supply chain at all levels, and the heavy snows may give mills a chance to catch up. Snow in the Atlanta – Athens GA area has not slowed jobsite delivery.
Ainsworth Lumber Co.’s OSB mill at 100 Mile House, B.C., will be down April 12-29 for scheduled maintenance.
Boise Cascade’s plywood mill in Kettle Falls, Wash., will be down the week of February 15 for maintenance.
On a brighter note, M.C. Dixon Lumber Co. may restart its sawmill in Eufaula, Ala., with help from a Community Development Block Grant administered by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs. The mill shut down in 2008.
Call (770) 995-3900 for current pricing on lumber and panel products.

Atlanta GA SPF Lumber up 60% Since Last Year

Lumber and OSB prices are up sharply this year, due to multiple mills still being shut down and log supplies being limited. We have probably seen the lows for the year already in SPF and Yellow Pine lumber, both of which have taken a huge jump already this year. Southern Yellow Pine producing areas are extremely wet, and this has severely limited the harvesting ability of loggers. Logs for OSB and plywood are also limited, and will continue to be until the producing areas dry out. Also, there has been substantial demand from biomass plants, which now compete with OSB and pulp mills for wood fiber. Even though new home construction is off, a small increase in new home starts has severely taxed the supply chain at all levels. Snow in the Atlanta – Athens GA area has not slowed jobsite delivery.
Ainsworth Lumber Co.’s OSB mill at 100 Mile House, B.C., will be down April 12-29 for scheduled maintenance.
Boise Cascade’s plywood mill in Kettle Falls, Wash., will be down the week of February 15 for maintenance.
On a brighter note, M.C. Dixon Lumber Co. may restart its sawmill in Eufaula, Ala., with help from a Community Development Block Grant administered by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs. The mill shut down in 2008.
