February 11, 20179 yr I am hoping to enlist some extra eyes on this dilemma we are facing with creating certain departments in our wiki. I am currently working on our own wood data base. We all know about the popular and famous "The Wood Database". But in an effort to create one of our own, I need to use the terminology and listings of the properties of the wood. The Wood Database does have all of this, I could copy their structure and format. But I won't and can't. Because well, that would be copying. So in order to be original, and our wiki based on independent "Open Source" research, I need to find a website or research portal that does show those properties such as Tree Size, Specific Gravity, Crushing Weight etc, without scraping the information from a privately owned website. So I am looking for a govt website, or other open source website that I can use for my research in formatting the application that you, the user will use to fill out the menus for the properties of the lumber, and also you'll be able to geolocate the wood species to a world map, and provide an image as well. If anyone comes across an open sources website for research on lumber and wood species that talks about hardness scales, and specific gravity etc, I'd sure appreciate you sharing it to me. Thanks for any help! I know our wiki has been a long work in progress, but it's coming along, at http://thepatriotwoodwiki.org/HomePage It's turned out to be a long term project, I hope to have it open soon for all of you to contribute your factual knowledge too.
February 11, 20179 yr here's a start... lots in the sub links... https://plants.usda.gov/java/ https://www.treesearch.fs.fed.us/ https://www.treesearch.fs.fed.us/pubs/10976
February 11, 20179 yr forest service? https://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/index.php i don't know what all you are looking to gather, but i'm sure it's out there somewhere in some government publication.

Thanks Dab, been there a whole lot in the past, but did not find a list of properties such as Janka Hardness, weight, or list of wood species. I greatly appreciate your efforts!

I have been there many times as well. If you see Wood Data Base, at http://www.wood-database.com/honduran-mahogany/ You'll see a list of properties and attributes for the wood species Honduran Mahogany I am looking for something like this, but from an open source.
February 11, 20179 yr Author I appreciate your efforts thus far gents! If you find a per species properties and attributes list anywhere open source, I'd love to see it.
February 11, 20179 yr Not sure if this will help you locate information https://scholar.google.com/schhp?hl=en&as_sdt=1,39

February 11, 20179 yr Author @DAB and @Stick486 I included your links as research at our new Wood wiki page. They are very useful for research, thanks guys!

If you do recover them Stick, I'd like to solicit your help, I'd even like it if you could upload them to a separate server that I can access (I'll set it up) so I can read them and use them for research, and we can also eventually upload them to our wiki. You may be sitting on a virtual gold mine I'd like to tap into.
