Much of the furnishings of the U.S. capitol were made with mahogany wood - something quite difficult to come by these days. That's a problem because some of those furnishings were damaged during the January 6 attack.
Back during the First World War, the Forest Products Laboratory of the U.S. Forest Service (still in its first decade of existence) did research on the use of different kinds of wood for airplane propellers.
Some of that wood was unused at the time and then remained warehoused (in Wisconsin) for a century, and can now be used for the capitol repairs.
FPL Sends Historic Legacy Mahogany to Help Restore U.S. Capitol
I don't know which is more interesting. The government apparently still has stocks of surplus material from WWI. And, the inventory management is good enough for them to know what's there.
