What others are saying about
The Wood Explorer CD:
"If you have a relatively new computer and an interest in wood, The Wood
Explorer is not to be missed!" Environmental Building News
"We tried it, we liked it|" Popular Woodworking Magazine
"A real winner...a great deal of extremely useful information about wood."
G. Berlyn, Yale University, Journal of Sustainable Forestry
"A fabulous concept." John Arno, Fine Woodworking Magazine
"If you're a woodworker, an architect, a designer or a hobbyist with a serious
interest in wood, The Wood Explorer is the most important computer resource on wood you
can own." Workbench Magazine
"People who work with wood--foresters, carpenters, architects, environmental
policy makers--can not pass up The Wood Explorer." World Wildlife Fund News
"It's like having 60 years' worth of Wood of the Month column, only with
lots more data at your finger tips." World of Wood magazine
"Woods of the World will greatly enhance our ability to meet the demand for wood
fiber products that are in diminishing supply, and at the same time help ensure a
sustainable future for the use of wood in building products. Andersen Corporation is very
excited about...having a tool like this available to us." Andersen Windows
"In addition to making important information available to the decision-makers of
the design profession, The Wood Explorer's educational impact on the profession of
architecture should prove to be significant. Furthermore, The Wood Explorer can actually
suggest alternatives to a chosen species if it is threatened or endangered. It is no
longer good enough just to be concerned about the global impact of deforestation. The time
for action is now, and the The Wood Explorer database will allow us to act."
William A. Edgerton, Chair of the Rain Forest and Natural Resources Task Group of the
American Institute of Architect's Committee on the Environment
