Lumber Connection Podcast

This SBCA podcast focuses on the latest trends in North American lumber markets. Each week, experts in the lumber industry will provide insight into the latest trends and provide timely commentary on the many factors impacting the supply and demand of the lumber used in structural components. Their commentary and analysis will be focused on the lumber species and grades most commonly used in the component manufacturing industry and will provide information you may find helpful in making your next lumber purchase.

The Lumber Connection podcast series is a result of the work of SBCA’s Strike Force 2, which has as one of its goals to provide tools to component manufacturers to aid in making better decisions regarding the raw materials used in this industry’s products.

We hope you enjoy this podcast. We welcome your feedback and encourage you to submit your questions regarding the lumber market to lumber@sbcacomponents.com. Our guests will attempt to answer your questions in subsequent podcasts.
