DO YOU WANT TO KNOW
HOW OLD YOUR WOOD ARTIFACT IS?

I offer art collectors, restorers, art experts, galleries, museums and private customers the opportunity to date wood by a scientific method able to determine the authenticity and age of the object. My laboratory offers scientific, verifiable results by analyzing wood dust samples. These can either be taken by: 

a) customers at their location following my instructions communicated by email 

b) I can come to you at your location 

or c) you can visit me at my laboratory in Nonnenhorn, Germany.

I am very happy if I can be of any help to you. Get to know how I work. I look forward to analyzing your artifacts.
