Radial, tangential, and cross-sections of 350 North American woods from the 14-volume rare book The American Woods, published between 1888 and 1910 by the author, Romeyn Beck Hough. The images can be accessed by volume number or by the scientific or common name of each tree.

Thanks Jeff, this is indeed an awesome resource. There are many guides out there but this is the best I have seen. Many of the other guides concentrate on bark and leaves for species ID but the boards in my recycled wood stash lost their bark and leaves about 50 years ago. :rotflm:
