    Hello from Calgary, Canada: On a recent tour of the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Classical Chinese Garden in Vancouver, BC, Canada, I encountered reference to "namwood" - said to be extremely rare and a gift of the Chinese government to the garden in the city a few years ago. The wood there was in the form of several tall building support columns about 10 inches in diameter. The Tour Guide at the Garden could offer no further information on "namwood".

    Could someone advise of the scientific name of this wood and its tree and whether it is commercially available in small quantities? Thanks for your help - Chuck Holder, member, International Wood Collectors Society, Calgary, Canada.
