>>.Lumber is one of the few things that CAN'T be influenced much by what is happening in other places of the world (Except Iraq, where the gov. buys here and ships to use there). The dimensions are different!!<<,

If you mean that the dimensions of cut lumber have any effect on its demand as an export, you are not correct. I recently had extensive repairs done to my house, and for a set-up fee and the making of a jig to guide a milling machine, a cost of something like $150, tongue and groove boards were cut to match the boards still in place from 1923, which are far from standard size now.

Shipping lumber of any dimesion desired is a trivial problem.
