The Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin recently celebrated 100 years of wood and forest products research. The Lab has been involved in ground-breaking research with numerous wood product companies across the nation in its 100-year history that is beautifully depicted in this 12-minute video.

I was fortunate to be part of a group of FFers to get a tour of the facilities thanks to member Beenthere, truly a fascinating place and a must see if ever given the opportunity.
I'd like to go again one day. :)
I've never been there myself. Lots of great information has come from there over the years.
A great place for wood expertise.
