Any reccomendations.

I've got a nice book on trees, but there's no mention of the appearance of the wood or the grain or stuff like that, just pictures of the trees themselves plus bark, leaves, berries, flowers etc.

It's called Trees in Britain, Europe and North America by Roger Philips, Pan Books, ISBN 0 330 25480 4.

It's from 1979, so not sure if it's still around though.
