So I have an uncle that's really into woodworking. I first saw this image near christmas time, so, I thought as a funny gift I'd buy him the book and put the caption on it. Come christmas he opens it, chuckles, invited me to his woodshop in the basement and showed me the copy of the book he already owned plus the sequel Understanding Wood. Apparently they are actually pretty good resources for people who do stuff like that.

TL,DR: Gave this to my uncle as a joke, he already owned and read this and the sequel.

[–]YeahPleaseDont 6 points7 points ago

For any woodworker, pro or amateur, it's a great reference.

[–]wesman212 2 points3 points ago

Your mom's a woodworker.

She didn't even need tools.

Wow. Totally digging this plain ol' Reddit downvote feature.

[–]MinorDefect 0 points1 point ago

wanted to post a troll comment, saw yours, noticed you retrolled the OP in the best way possible, again proud of reddit

[–]guynumberthree 1 point2 points ago

Yep, this is sitting in my dad's office. Evidently it's a popular resource.

[–]BaronVonWeiss 93 points94 points ago

This is probably the most over posted image on the internet. Good day, sir.

[–]BillSchmidt 35 points36 points ago

"yep, it's a repost"

[–]BecauseOfGay 10 points11 points ago

I don't understand how people haven't seen this yet, its one of the oldest things on the internet

[–]rogue780 0 points1 point ago

Terrorist

[–]Reddickk 0 points1 point ago

Well it's good that you created that yourself or it might have been little ironic.

[–]BaronVonWeiss 1 point2 points ago

I didn't create it. What's the problem here? I'm not following.

[–]axtolip -2 points-1 points ago

Too soon.

[–]BaronVonWeiss 0 points1 point ago

Never too soon. If something is awesome, use it the first change you get.

[–]44in313 9 points10 points ago

This is so old I thought it was posted under one of the timeline subreddits.

[–]Fallingdamage 11 points12 points ago

Ah, its the 'ol Identifying Wood picture. Guaranteed to show up on the front page every 45 days!

[–]SmellsLikePoor 4 points5 points ago

Welcome to the Internet!

[–]sonicbloom 33 points34 points ago

I prefer this gem.

[–]m8- 6 points7 points ago

Personal favorite.

There are tons of these.

[–]Se7en_Sinner 7 points8 points ago

Yep, it's weed.

[–]cuscino 12 points13 points ago

if you look closely you can see that it is wood

[–]AgentMcFuckausername 2 points3 points ago

If you look even closer, you can see that it is morning wood. Hahahaaaaaah...

[–]SilasYEAH 35 points36 points ago

If you look EVEN closer you can see that it's a repost

[–]AgentMcFuckausername 0 points1 point ago

If I haven't seen it before, it's new to me.

[–]SilasYEAH 0 points1 point ago

Screw you

[–]thedevilyousay 5 points6 points ago

I don't see why someone whose profession is the identification of wood would need to wear a shirt and tie to do his job. If that was my profession, I'd be business casual all day long.

[–]Vytral 4 points5 points ago

except perhaps for posing for the cover photo of your book

[–]Rorkimaru 0 points1 point ago

Well he'd be a botanist, most grown up botanists I know wear shirts and ties. My old professor used to wear a three piece suit out to the field.

[–]bodaciousbilly 1 point2 points ago

My dad has this book. It's not very thick.

People joke, but this is an actual thing. It's about distinguishing types of wood from each other at a glance.

[–]Sacrefix 2 points3 points ago

Thanks for clarification, that is in no way apparent from the cover.

[–]hockeyfan_100 1 point2 points ago

I've read this book. Hoadley is kind of a hero in wood circles.

[–]Hal_Nein_Thousand 1 point2 points ago

Who's got wood?

Woody's got wood!

(NSFW audio)

[–]matassa 1 point2 points ago

never seen this....... today

[–]epmca 1 point2 points ago

i've never ever ever ever seen this meme a hundred times before.

[–]Gigafortress 1 point2 points ago

Woah, good thing nobody's seen this before!

[–]sheldonpooper 1 point2 points ago

This picture is so old, I'm starting to suspect he's actually identifying coal.

[–]revrend_ 3 points4 points ago

Q: Who's got wood? A: Everyone else on 4chan who copypasta'd this long before reddit

[–]treetrunk30 1 point2 points ago

I have a professor named kevin wood, every time i have his class, i can say " IVE GOT WOOD!!!"

[–]rolyat99 0 points1 point ago

You can tell it's wood because of the way it is.

[–]bitigchi 0 points1 point ago

It floats.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I've seen this pic a hundred times and it still makes me laugh.

[–]geoffacakes 0 points1 point ago

I've seen this pic hundreds of times and i still wooden believe its real!

[–]BonerYNot 0 points1 point ago

I work for a diamond tooling firm, we get this magazine monthly and are in every issue. It's actually a great magazine that introduces new tooling, technology and new found exotic grains of wood.

[–]PolarClybourn 0 points1 point ago

I was a in the forestry department for a couple years at university. I actually took this class.

[–]Flamewall26 0 points1 point ago

[–]RicoGrande 0 points1 point ago

[–]duchovny 0 points1 point ago

Downvoted like it should be.

[–]trythemain 0 points1 point ago

It amazes me that in this day and age an image like this can still garner 500 karma.

[–]noccusJohnstein 0 points1 point ago

I saw this (the real magazine) in a friends bathroom. Why it was the the bathroom, I have no idea.

[–]bartlebythefilth 0 points1 point ago

Fantastic book. Suck it.

[–]paullywog 0 points1 point ago

It's funny because I actually used this textbook last semester. Forestry students FTW
