Southern Comments

WHITE OAK

Area sawmills are finding White Oak, unlike Red Oak, a little easier to procure at prices that allow for profitability. Reports about all grades of kiln dried White Oak are mixed depending on the markets in question. One Southern exporter told HMR/Fastmarkets that 4/4 #1C is doing well, but #2A isn’t garnering much interest. He wondered if 4/4 Fas was primed for a “comeback,” though reported prices warrant decreases to the lower ends of the ranges for that item this week. Weak interest from Chinese buyers has significantly impacted overall demand for Southern White Oak this year. There are no changes to the green White Oak listings in this issue.

Appalachian Comments

WHITE OAK

White Oak is a bestselling species for multiple producers and has been all year. Price changes—overwhelmingly lower throughout the course of the year—have been driven by supply exceeding fair demand. Recent comments suggest supply-side imbalances remain. One end user is having no problem getting all the White Oak needed. Another is now purchasing straight loads of green 4/4 #1C, something that was often difficult to do the last few years when supplies were tight. Broadly speaking, price movement is limited this week. No changes are warranted to the green or kiln dried listings and ranges.
