Lumbers also known as timber. Lumber is a construction staple. When it comes to building infrastructure on a grand scale or even an individual house, wood is a commodity that is required. Like many other raw materials, the price of lumber is a function of supply and demand. At the same time, macroeconomic factors can influence the price of wood.
Lumber is wood that has been processed into beams or planks of varying lengths. It is a key commodity for many industries, including homebuilding, furniture manufacturing, wood flooring, and kitchen cabinetry.
Loggers use two categories of trees to produce lumber – hardwoods and softwoods. The majority of lumber comes from softwood trees. Both hardwood and softwood lumber receive grades based on the quantity and types of defects in the wood. Defects include knots, holes, splits, and missing pieces on the corners or edges.
Lumber plays a huge role in construction; therefore, the construction industry and lumber prices strongly correlate.
