Hi everyone!
Today I recommend you the American Woods webpage with wood images of many trees.
The American Woods:
exhibited by actual specimens and with copious explanatory text
by Romeyn B. Hough
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.
Also there is a good review done by Maria Popova in Brainpickings. As she states "A bittersweet masterpiece of design and natural history". You can buy the book here.
