Australian native timber, salvaged boards and inherited furniture can be difficult to identify once age, finish and weather have changed the surface. WoodLens reads grain, pores, colour and figure from a photo, suggests the likely species, opens a timber profile and keeps restoration notes on your device.
FOR TIMBER IDENTIFICATION AND FURNITURE RESTORATION
Identify the species behind the grain.
Photograph a clean area of bare grain or end grain in good light. WoodLens suggests the likely species with a confidence indicator, and you can confirm or adjust the match manually. Profiles include common and botanical names, hardness, workability, grain, figure, colour, ageing and origin.
Explore Australian timber clues.
Use grain and colour context when comparing eucalyptus and other native timbers with imported species. Finish, weathering and close look-alikes can change the result, so each suggestion is a starting point for further checking.
Read furniture era and style cues.
Photograph a chair, cabinet or salvaged door to examine joinery, hardware, veneer and finish clues. WoodLens can suggest a likely era and style for research, without claiming authenticity.
Follow practical restoration guidance.
Profiles link to steps for removing an old finish safely, repairing splits and gouges, sanding with the grain and choosing between oil, wax, shellac and modern finishes. Safety notes cover dust, ventilation and product instructions.
Keep a personal project log.
Save identifications and projects on your device. Record the timber, furniture piece and finishes used, then earn maker badges as the log expands.
Free in-app guides cover hardwood and softwood, grain direction, joinery clues, finish selection, dust and chemical safety.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Take or choose a clear photo of bare grain or end grain.
2. Review the suggested species and confidence indicator.
3. Open the profile for timber traits, style cues and restoration notes.
4. Confirm or edit the match, then save it to the project log.
IDENTIFICATION AND SAFETY NOTE
WoodLens is an educational identification and reference tool, not a structural or scientific authority. Finish, lighting, weathering and sample quality affect a photo match, and similar timbers are common. Never use the app alone for structural, load-bearing or safety-critical decisions. Wood dust and finishing chemicals can irritate or sensitise; use ventilation and suitable protection and follow each product's safety instructions.
PRIVACY
Your project log, history and preferences live on your device. There are no accounts, third-party trackers or advertising SDKs. With online recognition enabled, the photo is sent securely to our recognition service, is not retained after processing and is never used for advertising or tracking. Full details are in the in-app Privacy Policy.
SUBSCRIPTION
WoodLens Pro is an auto-renewing subscription offered weekly and annually. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. It renews for the same billing period and rate unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Promotional offers may appear, and charges vary by region.
