Woods of the World cd

I have it, but don't know where it is - Aha. It is pretty good and I still think it was worth what I paid, but i don't use it much. I have three books which serve a similar function and prefer to use them as I can haul them out to the shop or to a comfortable chair. But searching is a Plus.

Hello Steven, (Great name by the way! :-)

I have owned this CD for several years and use it occasionally. It could use an updated user interface, as the one it has (my version anyway) is very basic and lacks a cutting edge GUI.

I have found that many of the timbers I wanted information on were not in the database, however, most of them were there. If you Google your timber species, you may be able to find out the information you need.

There are numerous sites on the internet, some maintained by colleges that have species information, as well as other sites offering information that can be drilled down for specific data needed. Good luck to you and best wishes to you in all of your woodturning endeavours!
