Wood fiber cloth
notes: label: Description
content: This is a sample of cloth woven from wood-based fiber materials. The clock has pink and blue stripes. It was donated to the museum in 1920 by the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York, as a part of a collection of objects that illustrate the different ways wood can be utilized in commercial production. Wood can be made into cloth through the processing of either synthetic or regenerated fibers and is vital to the creation of textiles. The New York State College of Forestry was founded in 1898 at Cornell University and was the first professional school of forestry in North America. In 1911, it was reestablished at Syracuse University. Today, the college is a part of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF).
