Beginning with the June 21 panel report, Random Lengths will scale back its re-porting of the veneer market to more closely align with industry feedback. Random Lengths will discontinue its reporting of all seven 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. Discontinued items are as follows:

• PALU FP-PNL-0504 West coast veneer douglas fir CD 1/10-inch fob mill mix
• PAJL FP-PNL-0296 West coast veneer douglas fir CD fishtails 1/10-inch fob mill
• PAHG FP-PNL-0287 West coast veneer douglas fir CD 54-inchx8-ft 1/10-inch fob mill

• PAIS FP-PNL-0293 West coast veneer douglas fir CD rw 1/10-inch fob mill

Random Lengths will also move forward with a new assessment for European Spruce #2 2×4 16-foot. Publication of that assessment will coincide with the launch of the new Fastmarkets Dashboard later this summer. We will issue a pricing notice ahead of the launch with full item details.
