But do you know what an actual Poplar, Walnut or Zebrawood tree looks like? Could you actually draw one if you were playing some forestry version of Pictionary?

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

Visual Guide: What the Actual Trees of 52 Different Wood Species Look Like
Pretty excellent! And in my opinion, the right level of detail for an infographic like this.
The only addition I would make is a qualifier next to the rarity category - "Rare (in the US)"
Purpleheart is so common in S. America that its used for shipping pallets
I need to buy some heavy shit from S. America!
this is amazing.
