Recently, there has been some great information on the characteristics of wood in the threads. Enough so that I have been giving some thought to having a forum dedicated to the subject. We have a large number of sawyers and others who seem to be a hidden resource for us. It may be nice to have these very technical and very enlighting issues concentrated in one forum.
What do you guys think?

Great idea Steve. I could definitely use more knowledge about wood! That is if my pea-brain can absorb any more!

Sounds like a great idea! A useful spot to refer back to, as I am generally unable to remember anything more than where I left my car. And that I can only do when I park it at home!

I think it is a great idea. A good way to consolidate the collective knowledge of such a great group of woodworkers

Great ideal Steve.  There has been a large number of posts lately regarding wood characteristics with a lot of great responses.

Steve, I think it is a great idea. It would be great to have a place to go that would have that information!

Indeed, with DaveO's knowledge of every imaginable species of woody plant, Kyle's input on large stock, Cad's sources of exotics for turners, and many, many more, I agree that it would be a great forum for all of us. I might suggest comparable areas in the download and link libraries that would provide access to online source materials, too.

Steve,
I love the idea. I'd really like to learn more about wood, how it mills, finishes, looks, and moves. This kind of data get even move important when we order material over the internet... even some suppliers we actually visit don't know enough about thier product to offer guidance.
