[se7enthdevil]

i may be interested in a sample if you've got some to spare.

 

what sort of sizes do you have?

[Chippy]

Its only very small strip wood about 6 mm x 40 mm but if you need it for the database let me know.

Only seems to cover tropical woods. I wasn't surprised to find no results for elder, but then I tried apple and finally oak. No results for any of them. Does anyone know of a comparable site for temperate woods?

[se7enthdevil]

lots of them are temperate woods.

 

it does say that it's for "lesser known species" supposedly for construction and joinery. apple and elder are not used in general joinery or construction and as oak is a known rater than lesser known species it's unlikely to be on that site.

 

if you wish to view common timbers check out The Wood Database.
