Following an extended period for feedback regarding Random Lengths and Random Lengths International prices and methodologies, Random Lengths has decided to move forward with a pair of alterations to the lumber and panel reports.

Beginning with the June 20 lumber report, Random Lengths will publish three new assessed delivered Dallas 2×4-8 fingerjointed stud prices for ES-LP, Fir&Larch, and Western S-P-F.

Industry feedback strongly favored inclusion of these items, as the Texas market represents on outsized share of consumption in the fingerjointed stud market.

Starting with the June 21 panel report, Random Lengths will scale back its reporting of the veneer market to more closely align with industry feedback. Random Lengths will discontinue its reporting of all Douglas Fir 1/10-inch CD and AB items. The last assessment date for those items will be in the June 14 issue of the panel report.

Additionally, Random Lengths will move forward with a new assessment for European Spruce #2 2×4 16-footers. Publication of that assessment will coincide with the launch of the Fastmarkets Dashboard later this summer. A pricing notice will be published prior to launch with full details of the assessment.
