The Wood Explorer CD and this web
site tie together to give you the best information available anywhere
in the world. With the CD, you load all the data into your hard drive
for immediate and instantaneous access. Then, through our interactive
web site, you get still more data entered directly into our database from
our thousands of members...not to mention the additional features only
available at the web site (forums, country data, award points, etc.).
The CD is available in different versions according to the inforamtion
you need.

The Professional Version of the CD gives you the following features:
- Unlimited access to all 1,650 species. The same serial number that unlocks the CD also gives you a free yearly membership to all data on this web site.
- Instantaneous display of data and ultra-fast searching. The web is great, but there's nothing like having the data right in your computer, wherever you happen to be with it. Check out these sample data pages from the CD.
- Easy, fast and customized reports. Move the data around as you wish. Format it however you want. Screenshot
- Powerful wood image tools. All of the more than 2,000 wood pictures have been organized by color and appearance! Great for anyone looking for woods with a specific appearance or trying to identify a type of wood...or just for finding really fantastic looking species. Fun and very educational.

- Fast, effective searching routines, considerably better than through the web site. Create really fast and complex searches, finding just the wood you need. Screenshot
- Great tools for comparing one species to the next. The main Compare screen offers comparative data on over 150 popular species, to which you can compare any of the other 1,500 species in the database. Screenshot Need more fine tuning? Go to the Custom Compare screen and compare any wood to any other group of woods by dozens of different properties! Screenshot
All of this is packaged together in a simple, effective navigational system. This CD is really easy to use...almost intuitive. |
