Have we had The Wood Picker yet?

That's a good one, and a new one on me! I've used several other tools at Woodbin but contrived to miss the Wood Picker.

SL Hardwoods gives a suitability for nailing / gluing etc in a small bar chart next to each of the timbers it sells. I find this useful, but would like to see them side by side rather than only on the page of the timber it represents.

There was a website mentioned on here recently that allowed various veneers to be compared but I'm damned if I can find it now!

Here by any chance?

It's the exotic-veneer company but the link is broken at the moment, may come back later.

Thats not the same site. The one Dom and I are referring to allows you to put different veneers next to each other tp see what they look like together.

Sorry Dom-Tim misread the post.

Thanks for the pointer,

I presume I've got the correct one this time:

My general feeling, when considering indoor furniture made from hardwoods, that the main choice to be made is one of aesthetics. I expect that most things could be made from most woods, some might be a little easier than others or better than other for a few specific aspects. Obviously, if it's going outdoors then the durability issue becomes more important.
