looking for an exotic wood chart
« on: January 22, 2007, 06:27:00 PM »
Im looking for a good reference chart for specific gravity, hardness, ect for exotic wood. I have some that Ive found, but they arent that complete and are lacking a lot of the available exotic wood out there. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

Thanks for the input. Im looking for something like woodworkers source   http://www.woodworkerssource.net/Merchant3/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=WS&Category_Code=African_Blackwood
 They have a bunch of wood they sell and compare it to red oak, Im just wondering if there is something more complete than that.

Here's the absolute best one I've ever found.  Takes a few moments to open all of the pics.
