All Roads Lead to China:

While putting the wood furniture posts together, I came across this chart on the Construction materials market that I thought would be interesting.

I apologize as it is a few years old now, but 2006 and 2007 were a continuation of the moves from 2003 to 2005. high growth, lots of exports.

The people we are working with/ speaking to are seeing a falloff in the 50% range from 2005 levels.
