Workshop on wood identification

Workshop

"What wood is it and why?  Seeing and understanding wood in a whole
    new ways"
Connecticut
October 15-16, 2016

Did you ever look at a piece of wood and wonder what wood it is
and why it looks the way it does?  Were you ever confused about
which wood it is: mahogany, walnut, cherry, or poplar?

This two-day hands-on workshop will answer all these questions and
more.  It is designed specifically for curators, collectors, antique
dealers, appraisers, and conservators.  The goal of this workshop is
to familiarize the student with the physical properties of wood and
recognize species specific structures.  No experience is necessary.
