I recently stumbled on an 'egg collection' for wood. This is almost literally what it sounds like - a huge collection of images of egg-shaped pieces of timber, that really shows off the colour and grain. A focus on Australian timbers, of course, but that's no bad thing as we're otherwise often poorly represented.
Agreed that the parochial measurement system is frustrating - those filters could certainly benefit from an 'are you in the 95 percent?' toggle to flip to sane units.
FWIW the entries for each timber do have the metric (Pa, metre, etc) figures shown in parenthesis after the US imperial figures.

This is an excellent resource.

oh, interesting. clown faces are registered by recording the patterns on ceramic eggs. i suppose it's a convenient size/shape for samples in general.
Bookmarked, thanks!
