Wood sample graphics needed

[Scottydont]

I want to post some wood samples jpgs with descriptions on my website. So I am not reinventing the wheel, does anyone have anything like that or at least a source for it?

You might try BB. He has a good stack of pictures of different blanks, both stabilized and non-stabilized.

Scott, here are a few websites to keep you busy. I use them to try to identify "mystery wood" I find in the pen blank bin. Some pics are undoubtedly copyrighted, but I don't know how you'd find out which ones.

Hey Moderators...can we get this list moved to the FAQ forum? This is a GREAT list!

Jim, that is a great idea. Man if there was somewhere here with a list of woods and a picture to see what they look like. Great resource for everyone.

Here's another project for ya!

Now that I'm fully infected, I look for wood everywhere, just like YOU, right?
I find that I need to learn what the tree, bark, and leaves look like. I had to ride by a log on the side of the road for several days on the way home from work before I could figure out what it was.

Education is the answer! I need to find "one of them tree books" !

You got that right! I can't go for a walk in the woods anymore without sizing up trees like a college kid checking out hotties at the pub!
