Please join us at an IWCS meeting for local tours and woodworking classes, wood and craft auctions and meeting new and current friends! Future meeting information is posted below.
Founded in 1947, the International Wood Collectors Society is a non-profit Society devoted to distributing information on collecting wood, correctly identifying and naming wood specimens, and using wood in creative crafts. Although the founders started IWCS with a strong emphasis on academic collecting of wood species, the availability of such a variety of wood and its inherent beauty quickly lead to crafting.
