The International Wood Collectors
Society
Founded in 1947, the International Wood Collectors Society is
a non-profit Society devoted to distributing information on collecting
wood, correctly identifying and naming wood specimens, and using wood in
creative crafts. Although the founders started IWCS with a strong emphasis
on academic collecting of wood species, the availability of such a variety
of wood and its inherent beauty quickly lead to crafting. |
