Wood Database
Friday, April 7th, 2006Check out the Wood - Colors and Kinds database. It is derived from an October 1956 publication of the USDA Forrest Service titled Agricultural Handbook No. 101. The original work is in the public domain, but I obtained permission from the Forrest Service to reproduce it here anyway.
If you happen to download the publication from the Forrest Service, notice that the color plates for the Western larch/Douglas-fir and Western hemlock/White fir are identical. I happen to own an original 1956 copy of the pamphlet. I was able to scan the pictures for the Western hemlock and White fir so that this website is correct.
