August 30, 20196 yr Popular Post Milestone It's been a year since I started transferring the chapters of Shelly E. Schoonover's "American Woods" into our wiki. I started with the opening chapters and the Conifers section of the book. After much scanning, typing, and searching for open source images to help give the reader a more interesting view, I have finally installed the last conifer in the Conifers structured pages. Pacific Yew Wiki | Pacific Yew THEPATRIOTWOODWIKI.ORG Wiki What's Next Now, I'll be populating our wiki with The Hardwoods (Broadleafs) chapters of American Woods. I think these will be more interesting to our readers here on The Patriot Woodworker as you'll be familiar with the woods we use in our shops daily, we do prefer hardwoods for many of our projects don't we? I hope you'll drop by our Patriot Woodwiki and take a look at the hardwood trees as they are entered into our wiki. Enjoy! If you have not yet dropped by our wiki and taken a tour of our "Conifer" trees, you can see all the American Conifers indexed at this page.

August 30, 20196 yr My first look at your efforts. Impressive. I know this is outside the scope of what you are doing but maybe you would want to add links to identify trees and wood. Identifying wood and trees is something that comes up regularly for the turners among us. Virginia Tech Dendrology Wood database More than just identifying trees but also drying wood, mechanical properties,safety and health, and working with wood Leaf-ID this one looks promising and easy to use Arbor Day Foundation
