The two groups of pressed wooden board assemblies are arranged relative to each other and tied together with fiber ropes. The two groups are used to press the plant wax leaf specimens. The pressed wooden board assemblies each include two wooden sticks and seven wooden strips. The wooden sticks are arranged in parallel. The wooden strips are evenly arranged and fixedly connected to one side of the wooden sticks. Both ends of the other side of the wooden sticks are provided with rope grooves, and the rope grooves are the positions for tying the fiber ropes. The above-mentioned plant wax leaf specimen making tool has shortcomings. Although the device can be used to make specimens, it has limitations.
