Research Abstract	The purpose of this study is to make wood identification system assisted by computor with a characteristic of loading microscopic image of wood structure. For this purpose, we made "wood idectification card" applicable for computor. Then, we made "standard wood identification card" after completing the description of microscopic features of wood. Furthermore, we have loaded the microscopic images of three directional sections using scanner. After preparing these procedures, we practiced wood identification as follows : we made microscopic preparations from the unknown wood blocks ; we made a mark in "wood identification card" for the characteristic features of wood by observing the microscopic preparation ; we picked up "standard wood identification card" corresponding to "wood identification card" of unknown wood species. These are the outlines of wood identification system we have made in this study.
