Share Your Wood Photos
At Exotic Woods of the World, our mission is to document and preserve information about wood species from around the world. While we maintain a large collection of wood photographs, some of the most valuable images come directly from woodworkers, collectors, sawyers, turners, instrument makers, and woodworking enthusiasts.
If you have photographs of wood species, lumber, trees, grain patterns, woodworking projects, woodturnings, furniture, musical instruments, carvings, knife handles, or other items made from wood, we would love to see them.
Selected submissions may be featured on Exotic Woods of the World to help educate wood enthusiasts and showcase real-world examples of these remarkable species.
