That’s still one of my favourite memes of all time tbh.
My favorite photoshop of this.
I have actually had this as a course textbook. I have a copy literally just three feet from where I’m typing this. It’s legitimately a great book!
share some of the inside, would love to know more about the actual meme
The meme is just that it’s a book with a funny-sounding title. Like, “yup, it’s wood!”

If you want to take a look at the book itself, you can probably find it at a local library, or a digital copy can be found here:

But it’s really what’s right on the tin. When just given a peace of lumber, it can often be very difficult to identify a specific species. You’re not going to pay for DNA testing for most scenarios where you need to identify lumber. So you have to learn in detail about wood anatomy, using features that can be identified with nothing more elaborate than a hand magnifier. And if you know enough about wood anatomy, you can determine the species with high degree of accuracy. That’s what this book is meant to help you do. Ideally you would be able to be handed a board, a light, and a magnifying lens, and be able to estimate the species. I actually had to do this on some assignments and exams.
Took a wood working class with this book around for us to use as a reference
Yep, it’s morning wood!
