"Fine Woodworking" magazine published a book titled "Identifying Wood" by a
fellow named something like Bruce Hoadley. You might try a local library to
start with, unless you care to own such a book for your own needs or interests,
otherwise try contacting www.finewoodworking.com, or (800) 888-8286
