I.D. Wood Reviews
Argument solver!
This app has solved many arguments between my woodworking mates. What wood is that, used to be a common phrase. Now we just look it up on the database. For 5 stars it needs more Australian woods!
Very good
Very comprehensive,a bit american centric ,could use leaf and bark or picture of the tree to help identify timber
More woods needed from overseas
I.D. Wood works well but is lacking some of the commoner timbers used in Australia. One example is Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) is one of the most common species of Eucalyptus tree in the southwest of Western Australia, and is used extensivly throughout Australia due to its hardness, durability and red colour. Another would be Merbau (Intsia bijuga), this timber is used extensivly throughout Australia for decking and outdoor furniture.
Very helpfull
Can you tell me what the 3rd sample on your tittle page is thanks.
Not really for Australian timbers
As suspected, this is just a US app put on the Australian market, all the timbers are either American or perhaps English. The token Australian entry is "Eucalypt" which says that this specie has over 600 sub species and a very bland, generic description of it's working properties. Apart from that, nicely thought out and organized app with quite a lot of detail on the 50 timbers it covers. It would rate much higher if it was to be expanded to really include woods from outside the US. The pics are not really good for anything more than a guide to what the wood may look like. Not enough detail on how the woods in the pics have been finished, oil, shellac, waxed etc.
Wood identifier
Needs to have a scan function.
Tree identification
It would be nice to show samples of the bark and leaf configuration, at least in some cases.
Terrible
If you like just looking at pics of wood - get it. If you want a real tool to identify wood - this is not it. Waste of time & money
Not what I thought it was
I got this app to help me identify the wood in some antiques that I found in EU. I thought it was an AI scan type app but it just has pictures. That might be helpful if there were more pictures with different finishes, but it just has a small piece showing a small part if the grain- pretty useless. Iit is also kind of clumsy. I don’t recommend this one.
