Center for Wood Anatomy Research, Forest Products Laboratory (FLP-USDA)

The mission of the Center is to combine state-of-the-art knowledge and techniques in botany and wood anatomy in the search for new approaches and improvements to wood identification and to accumulate and make known information on the anatomical and other characteristics of woods that may affect their utilization potential. The website (see below) includes links to wood collections, wood identification resources (including sheets, kits, and techsheets), and other resources.
