If I don’t I write the hardwood name on lumber I bring home I often have a hard time remembering what it is. I find that over time, even boards from the same tree sometimes can look so dissimilar that I second guess my labels. I also like to look up the species in a few books I have to try to narrow the species etc.
There are a couple great books you can put on your workshop shelf too. My favorite is “The Woodbook” and you can find it here:
