Forecast for Western Red Cedar use and availablity in 2013

repeated in all supplier

comments in mid-

December was “shortages.”



Jim Dunse, of Mill &

Timber Products,

Surrey, B.C.

“The Western Red Cedar market is completely

supply driven now. Customers say

they donʼt have enough wood for the orders

they are expecting going into the new year. I

strongly suspect things will tighten up more

as the new year progresses and that we will

see a bit of a frenzy in the marketplace. Our

mill is operating with logs now, but we donʼt

have the size and quality we would like to

have on hand for the demand we see with

rising housing numbers. Our log situation is

no different than any other one in the Pacific

northwest. There are a lot of good signs for

future business out there for those of us supplying

wood; the only question is what, if

any, this U.S. budget fiscal cliff situation will

ultimately bring to us.”
