Poland has been continuously inhabited by wood cutting cultures for thousands of years. That point... sorta doesn't work.

You seem to be implying that Poland missed the industrial revolution somehow (it didn't), and/or that the industrial revolution was driven in some significant way by wood products (nope). Or maybe you think Poland during its half-century of artificially stunted development was somehow... not cutting down trees because communism?

It's... wood. Communists knew how to build stuff out of it too.
