In terms of output, the lumber industry is controlled by just a handful of firms, including Weyerhaeuser Co., Georgia-Pacific LLC, West Fraser Timber Co., Ltd., among others, which makes it easier for capacity to be controlled.

YouTube account "Ken's Karpentry" recently published a video of "huge quantities" of lumber sitting and not in lumberyards. The exact location of the video is not mentioned but could be near Lyndonville, Vermont.

Gee...it is almost like all the smaller companies being purchased or driven out of business leads to several companies being able to dictate their prices because they control everything.

Oh yea, inflation is in there somewhere as well.

Yup. The big 4 are like the banks of the Timber industry. Consolidating wealth and assets. They claim there's a shortage but really home building hasn't boomed that much in recent years, demand went down but these companies are buying up and expanding still and with timber prices through the roof their stocks are rising.
