I _think_ that's the first time I've ever completely randomly stumbled upon myself online, i.e. with no intention whatsoever of actually looking up something I'd done. Nice little boost to start the day with :-)
Seems to be an amazing resource, but so sad that it's tailored for an American audience with an English-only catalogue and those unreadable units (wtf is a lbs/ft3, seriously ?). Edit: Ah ! They have meters and kg/m3 on each detail page, that's better !
This is an excellent resource. I recently stumbled on an 'egg collection' for wood. This is almost literally what it sounds like - a huge collection of images of egg-shaped pieces of timber, that really shows off the colour and grain. A focus on Australian timbers, of course, but that's no bad thing as we're otherwise often poorly represented. https://ttit.id.au/eggpage/alleggs.htm
I like Ian’s Shoelace Site too.
Next step for someday is to replace phylotree.js with a D3 visualization on it which shows each image using the URL so you can see how the grains of the word relate according to the tree of trees.
I use this site a ton to the point where I've bought both the hardcover and paperback versions of the book (hardcover now out of print due to COVID troubles). It's a fantastic resource for woodworkers.
