The Wood Lexicon provides well-founded knowledge about wood types, materials, and their meaningful use in everyday life. It is aimed at anyone interested in sustainable materials, product quality, and child-friendly design – whether as parents, consumers, or creative makers.
The lexicon already includes comprehensive entries on a wide range of European and tropical wood species, including beech, chestnut, acacia, and walnut.
