    I'm sorry you haven't gotten the help you'd hoped for. ID'ing wood is hard, especially from photos. (I'm terrible at it, so I write the info on the board when I buy it!) Sooner or later someone will be along with better help, or at least better suggestions, I'm sure.

    You can work on this yourself. The Wood Database is a terrific resource. Compare their magnified end grain photos to the end grain of your boards with a magnifying glass and you should be able to get in the right ball park.

    too many different pieces of wood in there to say what is what. If you want IDs, you need closer picks of each piece of wood for the grain and even the end grain.
    Distraction could lead to dismemberment!

    You can do a lot by yourself with a book like Bruce Hoadley's Identifying Wood or the Wood Database mentioned above. For local help why don't you contact https://www.azwoodturners.org/wood/ , https://scwwoodshop.com/ or https://azwoodworkers.org/? For obscure species try the US Forest Products Lab .
