Commodity Trading Desk: Lumber

Fellow Monkeys,

I'm looking for recommendations for a commodities desk who can help place an option contract on lumber. Apologies in advance for my ignorance on the subject (I'm a real estate guy - please be gentle).  For background, we've been seeing (as I'm sure many of you have) quite a bit of volatility in the lumber market. And unfortunately for my business, we've also seen some rapid escalations this year (IdaPac's SE focused market brief below for those interested...).

I'm trying to place a hedge against future escalations... Any firms in particular that could assist? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!IdaPac Southeast Framing Lumber Brief
