OWING to the present shortage of timber of European, American, and Canadian origin, and to the consequent rapid increase in the use of Colonial timbers, the appearance of this book is particularly timely and it will be invaluable to those who are now finding themselves obliged to deal in and use the many varieties of unfamiliar timbers coming on the market to-day. After an extensive preliminary section, which is in itself a complete introduction to the scientific study of timbers, each of forty-six commercially important timbers is described separately, with full details of. places of origin, anatomical structure, colour, weight, strength, finish, uses, etc. In addition, each timber is illustrated by a full page plate in colour and a photomicrograph of a cross section.
This practical book will be found indispensable by timber-buyers, builders, architects, designers, teachers in handicraft schools, and all others concerned with the working and identification of timber.
