Wood samples are the lifeblood of The Wood Database! If you’d like to contribute one or more samples, please keep the following in mind:
It can be incredibly helpful to see a practical example of what can be made with a given wood species.
If shipping cost is an issue, I am able to reimburse you for any shipping expenses incurred via PayPal if needed: just let me know if you’d like for me to cover this in your message.
Preferred wood size is standard IWCS sample size of 6″ x 3″ x 1/2″ (that is, six inches long, three inches wide, and a half inch thick).

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.
