Topic tags/keywords: tree identification

Anybody have any suggestions for books that cover tree identification, particularly for workable woods? I know that Bruce Hoadley has the “Identifying Wood” book, but I haven’t seen it yet, and don’t know how well it covers identification of trees, as opposed to already-cut wood.

Here’s link that will show your local trees. Just enter your state and after you select a tree that page will have a picture of the tree in the upper right. Click on that for leaf, bark ID:

I use the “The Real Wood Bible” by Nick Gibbs to identify already cut wood. I like it and it has a lot of useful information. As for identify trees, I use the National Audubon Society Field Guide for trees.

I have found good things about The Woodbook by Romeyn Hough, but I don’t have it.

I hope this helps.
