Re:RANDOM LENGTHS PRICE GUIDE REVISIONS
scheduled for October 2017
Canadian Fir&Larch 2x12 to be added to price guide
A few changes are in store for the Random Lengths Price Guide in October. Fir&Larch #2&Btr 2x12 from Canadian mills in the Southern Interior of British Columbia will be added on Page 5 of the 12-page weekly report, as well as the Midweek report.
Prices for Fir&Larch #2&Btr 2x4-2x10 debuted in the Price Guide a year ago. 12-inch is being added after determining there is enough production from the region to track prices weekly.
One other change is a switch in the juxtaposition of the columns for Inland Red Cedar #3&Btr 2-face and #3&Btr boards on Page 7.
Following this article are:
