Donating wood samples and pictures of wood items
If you’ve got a new or unusual wood species that isn’t on the site, please consider sharing it with the rest of us! I’m also interested in getting photos of completed wood projects—especially of obscure or lesser known woods. See my page on donating wood samples for more info.
