West Fraser Timber has announced the indefinite curtailment of operations at its Lake Butler, Fla., sawmill by the end of this month. The company cited “high fibre costs and soft lumber markets” in making the decision. The move is expected to reduce West Fraser’s U.S. lumber capacity by approximately 110 million board feet.
