If this has been done before, I apologize...

How about posting pictures of the types of tops as described in BOTB?
I know what a few of these look like, but not all. For example, I have no idea what bird's eye looks like. I know there's an example in BOTB, but I couldn't see it.

From BOTB:

1. Flame
2. Tiger stripe
3. Curly
4. Fiddleback
5. Pin stripe
6. Ribbon curl
7. Blister
8. Bird's eye

Same with the different cuts, quarter, rift & flat.
Things of that nature...
