Thanks.

There are a number of sites on the web. The link below is one for
common domestic lumber. They also have a page for exotic lumber.

Click on the hardwood's name to see its characteristics.

I'm not seeing the original post, so replying here.
http://www.woodbin.com/calcs/wdpick.htm I've found to sometimes be
helpful. The distinctions it makes aren't super precise (for example
it lumps douglas fir with lignum vitae for hardness) and it's list of
woods is a bit eclectic, but nonetheless it can be helpful.
