Good Evening Friends,
With more than 100,000 species of trees in the world, you won't tire of collecting samples of their wood. And even though you'll never get all of them, it's a lot of fun trying.

Founded in 1947 as a non profit organization for the purpose of advancing information on wood and wood collecting, the IWCS now has more than 1500 members in some 30 countries. These collections include both hardwoods and soft woods.

Thank you for your support.

Respectfully, :)
