EP 193: Lumber Insights

In this episode, Molly Butz is joined by Justin Binning and Ken Timmins with American International Forest Products (AIFP) who provide a snapshot of the current lumber market. The lumber market is starting to settle a bit after several weeks of steady movement, but supply, transportation challenges, and an aggressive fire season are still part of the picture. With a few outside factors adding uncertainty, it’s a good time for buyers and suppliers to keep the conversation open and stay realistic about what the next few weeks may bring. Justin has been with AIFP since 2010 with a focus in Southern Yellow Pine and Ken has been with AIFP since 2017, specializing in Fir species. Both specialize in high grade lumber for the component manufacturing industry.
