Now woodworkers have a good excuse to bring their iPhones to the shop and lumberyard. There's a new application developed by Double Dog Studios, called I.D. Wood, that turns your phone into a wood guide. With it you can view more than 50 wood samples (raw and finished) and get almost any data you need, including:

• Species and botanical names
• Common names
• Origins
• Descriptions
• Properties
• Common uses
• Durability
• Sustainability

 You also have access to:

• Wood Glossary
• Lumber cutting techniques
• Dimensional lumber conversions
• Thickness measuring screen
• References for pilot hole and nail sizes

For more information or to download, visit the Double Dog website.
