Nobody is producing lumber planning for several hundred years into the future. And that’s what I’m talking about.
For modern lumber trees are grown for 20-40 years depending on location and type of tree. Whereas early on you’re talking tons of trees that were hundreds of years old.
If you look at an old 2x4 vs a new one you can see the difference. The old one will have a much tighter growth rings than the new one. This is from it frowing slowly over many years.
But now they just want as much lumber as fast as possible.
Any old growth left is likely protected.
