Book Description
Excerpt from British-Grown Timber and Timber Trees: Being a Concise Description of Each Species, Together With Notes as to Their Value for Ornamental and Economic Planting, Including an Account of the Soils Suited to Their Cultivation, the Uses to Which the Timber Is Applied, the Current Value of the Wood The value of home-grown timber for the purposes of the architect and builder has, in the past, been but little recognised, the reason being that foreign wood, seasoned and converted for immediate use, is obtainable in such vast quantities and at so reasonable a price that the necessity for utilising to the fullest the resources of our woodlands has never before arisen. Since the days of the "wooden walls of old England," when British Oak played so important a part, home-grown timber has been but little appreciated, and has in the main only been utilised for the commoner or less important purposes to which it can be applied on the farm and estate. To those who have little interest in our home woods and their resources, such a statement may appear strange; and all the more so as it is universally admitted that Oak and Ash timber of native growth are superior in lasting properties to any that has been sent from abroad, and that native Birch and Beech are quite equal to foreign importations, while several of our coniferous woods, when matured and seasoned, have been found of the greatest value for general constructive purposes.
