Wood Name Pronunciations

[les-smith]

Can anyone tell me where I can go online to get help with how to pronounce the names of different woods?

Must be an Oklahoma thing les, because I can't figure half of them out either.

Try this http://www.m-w.com/. Enter word then click on the little audio icon. It's a Meriam Webster talking dictionary.

Maybe you're not pronunciating it correctly? [] (sorry, couldn't resist!)

Gary: After a response to your search has been displayed, look for two little speaker symbols immediately following the word being researched and click on one or the other or both. Apparently, the two icons give different pronunciations.

Note: You will get a correct pronunciation, Perry, for the word "nandina" if you click on the second speaker icon.....or at least I did!!

Cool site, Les!! Thanks. I am going to mark it for future use.[]

Thanks for the help, but everything I've tried is very limited. I've tried all of the suggestions and I can't get what I need. Try Ipe and Sapele, nothing comes up. I know how to pronounce thoughs, but I put them in as examples. I was hoping there was something set up just for wood.
