As for home grown stuff; Big grants to use timber in power stations to produce green energy has pushed the prices sky high, those wanting to burn it can pay a higher price than the sawmills. We are burning perfectly good wood now. (and then we complain about Bolsonaro and the destruction of the Amazon raim forest in Brazil)
It's all to do with the Chinese virus

Brexit is contributing to the higher costs of building materials as well as other factors.
UK, not US
"The price of home improvements has spiked by as much as 80pc as raw material costs continue to soar as a result of Brexit"
"It's a combination of the fact that Brexit pushed prices up - one of our suppliers in France has just told us they can't supply us anymore"
Of course brexiteers will blame anything/anyone but brexit!
Manufacturers are struggling to catch up with reduced output due to the pandemic. On top of that demand for the base materials is unprecedented. Most of the materials in greatest shortage are not imported.

I own a few acres of woodland & had the tree's valued 2yrs ago, simply out of interest.
2x lads who do a bit of remedial work for the logs did a full survey & I nearly fainted at the rough guesstimate.

When Jewsons had a shortage some months back they referred to the US shortage. Shipments of timber leaving Sweden were being diverted to the US because they could get a much higher price. Nothing to do with Brexit.
Loads of other building materials produced in this country are in short supply as well.
Manufacture stopped, stocks were run down, demand went through the roof, or it would have if roof tiles were available.

I thought Timber was falling?
As I said, brexiteers blame anyone/anything but themselves
