New Year, New Stats to Share

At Rose Pallet, we love to learn about wood.  It’s one of our oldest natural resources and today it moves more than $400 billion worth of American trade around the world. Suffice to say, we couldn’t live without it.

And we believe something so precious deserves to be studied. So, we invite you to sharpen your wooden pencils and launch your favorite browser: It’s quiz time!
