Wood Identification Resource Site URL
 
Though the url for this site has been posted before, it's worth
posting again. If you've got a chunk of wood and want to find
out what it is - THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO START!

http://www.hobbithouseinc.com/person...pics/index.htm

Lots of color photos, often with close ups, especially of end
grain, cross referenced "common names" to latin names,
critical if you want to find technical info on a particular wood.

And for folks who want photos of their work - that actually
look like the real piece - no added blues or reds because of
lighting etc., there's info on how to get photos with accurate
colors - including computer monitors and colors, digital cameras
and color correction, info on wood toxicity etc..

Bookmark this site - with asterikses (sp?) - it's a keeper you'll
use often - especially if you're a wood phreak.

Thanks Charlie. I had this bookmarked before the computer crash a.k.a. "the
meltdown" in December.
