Core mounts for dendrochronology tree ring research.

We produce two custom designed core mounting sticks used for dendrochronology, dendroarchaeology, and archaeology research. The cores are mounted into the core holder and glue mounted.

The core mounts may be referred to as tree core mounts, tree core sticks or increment core holder.
