Quite a little while ago, I was looking up the various properties of different woods. I came across a site that pictured snares of ALL different wood types, and each picture was a link that you could click on to find a GREAT amount of information on that type of wood including (but not limited to):

Hardness       Density
Color            Where it grows and in what size
Tonal Characteristics including how it sounded compared to a maple snare control drum.

I've searched the DC, Ghostnote and several other forums searching for somewhere with this information, and not can I not find the site I remember, but I am hard pressed to find ANY site giving ANYWHERE NEAR that amount of information on the various tonal characteristics of different woods.

Does anyone have an idea of the site I am referring to? Is it still around? If it's not, what is the best alternative?

Any help and discussion is always helpful, and thanks in advance! 
 

As far as different wood hardness goes:

I've worked with Kingwood and Purpleheart, and I've seen various other exotics in person, and I'd love to see a drumset with a veneer of some of them.

I wrote this article three years ago. The information isn't as thorough as some of these other sites, but you might get something from it.
