More woods needed from overseas

I.D. Wood works well but is lacking some of the commoner timbers used in Australia. One example is Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) is one of the most common species of Eucalyptus tree in the southwest of Western Australia, and is used extensivly throughout Australia due to its hardness, durability and red colour. Another would be Merbau (Intsia bijuga), this timber is used extensivly throughout Australia for decking and outdoor furniture.

No Australian hardwood. Waste of money

Not really for Australian timbers

As suspected, this is just a US app put on the Australian market, all the timbers are either American or perhaps English. The token Australian entry is "Eucalypt" which says that this specie has over 600 sub species and a very bland, generic description of it's working properties. Apart from that, nicely thought out and organized app with quite a lot of detail on the 50 timbers it covers. It would rate much higher if it was to be expanded to really include woods from outside the US. The pics are not really good for anything more than a guide to what the wood may look like. Not enough detail on how the woods in the pics have been finished, oil, shellac, waxed etc.
