Non-destructive identification of wood

We have just received funding for the re-production of a circa 1760
printing press of Dutch origin now in our collection.  One of the
present challenges we are faced with is the identification of the
wood used in the various parts of the machine.

Can anyone point me/us in the direction of a some source material
which explains the various methods of (hopefully) non-destructive
species identification for wood?
