Friends, have been searching the net for information regarding native
Japanese trees and timber.

It is not out of idle curiosity, I have a commissioner who has
requested something made from any native Japanese tree, but I am unable
to track down any specifics.

I don't know if you'll derive anything helpful from it or not, but if you go
to http://www2.fpl.fs.fed.us/, and click "common names" you'll get to a
search engine that lets you search wood species by country of origin. Note
that this uses not only the US government's database on wood species but
also the Australian government's, which contains a great deal of
information about Asian species.

Anyone any ideas?
