Switzerland - " SWISS WOOD INDUSTRY." First Day Cover with Stamp made of Wood ! Swiss Post has unveiled its first stamp made entirely of wood in commemoration of the country's timber industry. The unusual stamp consists of a thin square of pinewood and has a face value of SF 5. These wooden stamps are roughly the thickness of a credit card and are made from 120 year-old pines, felled in northern Switzerland. The stamp design focuses on the sustainability and uniqueness of this natural, living material - the structure of wood, integrated into the contemporary design, produces a different picture on each stamp ! This makes each stamp unique, just as each tree is unique !! FDI: 7. SEPTEMBER. 2004, 3000 BERN. [Flkm Env ~ Bth Rm Cpd Tp].
