ICOM-CC Wood and Furniture Working Group

I am writing as Co-ordinator for ICOM-CC Wood and Furniture Working
Group (ICOM-CC-W&F-WG). ICOM-CC <URL:http://icom.museum/> is the
International Committee for Conservation of the International
Council of Museums <URL:http://icom-cc.icom.museum/>. As an
effective International organization network ICOM-CC is the largest
of the international committees of ICOM with more than 1700 voting
members worldwide beside hundreds of non-voting member and hundreds
of ICOM-CC friends from every branch of the museum and conservation
profession. In brief it is the ICOM Committee for Conservation
network for professionals committed to the conservation and
restoration of the world's museum collections and culture property.

ICOM-CC-W&F-WG covers all areas of wood such as wooden objects,
wooden furniture, ethnographic wood (totem poles etc) wood
technology, archaeological wood and wood science. It also covers all
areas of lacquer and related materials etc. It built up of
professionals, specialists, conservators, scientists, curators,
technicians and other professionals, who are working or interested
in conservation and restoration of wood, furniture, lacquer and
related materials and who actively collaborate, study and promote
the conservation and analysis of culturally and historically
significant works. The group members communicate with their
colleagues through e-mail lists, newsletters, meetings and the
Triennial meetings).

As the Co-ordinator for ICOM-CC-W&F-WG I welcome all those who are
working or interested in conservation and restoration of wood and
furniture to submit for the membership of the ICOM-CC-W&F-WG and to
inform and encourage other to do so. Actually we have four
