A retrospective spread celebrates ten years of International Wood magazine, displaying covers from 2004 through 2007 featuring hardwood kitchens, rooftop decking and wine cellars.

How do you take an industry directory and turn it into an inspiration for unique ways to build and design with imported woods? That was the challenge the International Wood Products Association undertook in 2004, and the result was International Wood magazine, originally titled "Imported Wood."

International Wood was led in no small part by its editor and creator, Annette Ferri. After 22 years IWPA says goodbye to Annette with this edition. We thought it would be fitting to take a look back at the ten years of International Wood through a decade of magazine covers.

IW IS AN AWARD-WINNING ANNUAL PUBLICATION REVEALING REAL-LIFE APPLICATIONS OF IMPORTED LUMBER, PLYWOOD, VENEER, FLOORING AND DECKING FROM THE INITIAL SPECIFICATION TO THE FINISHED PROJECT.
