For many people, the identification of timbers is carried out simply by just looking at their colors, appearance and some specific feature on the timber.
However the method mentioned has its limitation as most of the timber may eventually look alike(especially on tropical timbers) after having been exposed to the weather for some times. Therefore the identification of timber should be based on features that are reliable i.e. anatomical structure, rather than on the features mentioned above.
Every timber or a group of very close related timber possesses a characteristic end surface. Thus the identification of timber requires memorizing there distinctive pattern. It is of course not and easy task to the various patterns and features of so many types of timber in the market unless the person is doing on regular basis. As such there is a need to provide an app that allows semi-trained or untrained personnel to capture, process and identify the unknown wood sample. This app can be downloaded into a smartphone (iPhone 6 and above) and it is free to identify up to 20 local Malaysian Timber groups. The myWoodPremium will provide up to 100 timbers.
