Back to EpisodesEP 128: Is SPF Just Coasting on Reputation?
Description
Matt and Charles join Ashley to break down what’s going on in the commodity lumber market as we wrap up June. The crew dives into SPF and questions whether it’s still holding a premium simply because traders think it should. With new home sales softening and housing data turning shaky, is there anything fundamental propping it up?
We talk about the pain of owning 2x6—why it feels rough right now, what could flip the script, and why mills are still cutting it anyway. Plus, Matt and Charles get into the details of Hampton’s
new SYP mill coming to South Carolina. What does the wave of new Southern Pine capacity mean for the market?
If you’re in the lumber game, this episode will make you sharper—and you might just laugh a little along the way.
