Thank you!
Used it as a gift! Got it for my wood-working fiancé and he was astounded at the thoughtfulness of the gift. We made a wooden box to store the samples in so he can leaf through them whenever he’d like.

Great variety; educational
This was a great value for the variety and the size of the sample pieces. I was able to use this to study and better identify woods I was familiar with, and also learn more about the ones I wasn't. Some of the exotic pieces are species that, technically, are not sustainable and may become endangered in the near future. Normally I would have more mixed feelings about their inclusion but in this kit it was really helpful to be able to identify them and get a sense of which ones indeed beautiful and unusual versus which ones were more about trendiness and could easily be imitated by a more sustainable choice. I set them all up like a card catalog and made myself the start of a "wood dictionary."

30 piece sample kit
This was my first order from Woodworkers Source and I was not sure what to expect. Excellent! I could not have been more pleased. This is a wonderful sampling of 15 domestic and 15 international wood species. I will be using them to aid in teaching Scouts, in my capacity as a woodworking merit badge counselor for BSA.

A Must-Have!
If you do any selling, you must have this kit. Now, when someone orders a chess set, I can sit down with them and let them pick out the woods they want for the pieces and board. These are high-quality samples, packaged great, and a wonderful price.

Hardwood sample kit and book
The hardwood samples are great. They will make a great tool for showing our customers the different species of wood available to them for their custom furniture. The book is very helpfull as well. I would recommend this product kit to any woodworker, regardless of skill level. It is a very usefull tool.

Nice sample set!
I am getting more serious into woodworking and wanted this set to gain more knowledge about different species. This was the ticket. It makes a lot of difference when you can put your hands and nose to a piece of wood. The book that comes with it is also very good. You will not go wrong with this set.

Nice sample kit
The sample pieces are big enough to convey the properties of the individual kinds of wood. And the book is nice and glossy. Thanks.. BTW the African Blackwood plank I got from you guys was primo. It's great to come across hardwood that is so fine-grained that it doesn't need any finish except sanding...
