Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
 
    We operate our business using two reportable segments: Wood Products and BMD. These segments represent distinct businesses that are managed separately because of differing products and services. Each of these businesses requires distinct operating and marketing strategies. For a description of the products sold by our segments, see Note 3, Revenues.

    Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is our chief executive officer. We measure and evaluate our reportable segments based on net sales and segment operating income (loss). Accordingly, our CODM reviews the performance of the company and allocates resources based primarily on net sales and segment operating income (loss) for our business segments, predominantly in the budget and forecasting process. The CODM reviews capital plans for both of our business segments and uses these plans, along with expectations of segment performance, resource availability, and capital structure, to determine how to allocate resources to each business segment.

    The segments follow the accounting principles described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Specified expenses are allocated to the segments. For many of these allocated expenses, the related assets and liabilities remain in corporate.

    For the year ended December 31, 2024, two customers accounted for 12% and 10% of total sales, respectively, when combining sales from Wood Products and BMD to those customers. For each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, one customer accounted for 12% of total sales when combining sales from Wood Products and BMD to that customer. Sales to foreign unaffiliated customers were approximately $99 million, $99 million, and $142 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

    At December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, and for the years then ended, long-lived assets located in foreign countries and net sales originating in foreign countries were not material.
    
    Wood Products and BMD segment sales to external customers, including related parties, by product line are as follows:
