Databases

Prospect : The Wood Database - a database of information on timber species.

Developed at the Oxford Forestry Institute for many years, the system records data for over 1550 species, 92 timber properties and 175 end-uses from over 1800 literature based references. More than 28,000 common and trade names are included to aid species identification, and there are over 1100 scanned wood surface images.

Due to subsequent funding restrictions we have unfortunately been unable to update the Prospect database or program as we had hoped. As we are no longer developing the software and are unable to supply the level of technical support we envisaged, we are now providing the full database as a free download.
