NC TIGER,
Are you a forester? Do you have stats on the lumber imported from Canada by year? Not sure where all of our sawmills/plywood mills in the south have gone but they are a fraction of what they were in the ‘80’s. I’m sure the stats are even worse in the west.

I’ve had an interest in the forest products industry for quite a few years.
I just googled USFS Harvest Trends and found many reports, etc. on the subject to find those charts. I knew the western public lands harvest had decreased significantly ~ 25 years ago.
I don’t have info on lumber imports or exports but it should be available from the Department of Commerce.
A lot of mills closed in the west when the harvest decreased. The industry as a whole shrunk with the 2008 recession. The inefficient could not survive - economic Darwinism.
