This year, the student chapter of FPRS has had a lot of fun while learning about the wood products industry. In October, we traveled to Madison, Wisconsin to the Midwest Section convention. The topic for the convention was Ready to Assemble Furniture. We enjoyed posh accomodations on Capital Square and two nights of pizza frenzy while in town. Also, we were invited to tour the facilities of the USDA Forest Products Lab, and the facilities of Marshall Erdman where we observed the manufacture of ready to assemble furniture.
