- Hardwood markets are very poor
- Red oak prices at mill reported to be $325/Mbf week of March 26th.
- Comments on market conditions or trends: they suck
- Please consider a comparison column for previous quarter. Thanks.
- Oak prices fell 4 times this winter; no end in sight. Firewood market continues strong; cold second half of winter and spring, thank God!
- Terrible markets as mills shut down
- Prices crashing a little more about two weeks ago; some may recover somewhat by mid-May 07… we’ll see!
- Sugar maple has succumbed to this “recession” as well, going back at least a few months now. White pine still affected less but wild fluctuations exist at this time.
- Markets poor
- Getting worse
- Red oak, hard maple, ash poor; cherry good; outlook for summer: not good at all.
