The Common Commercial Timbers of India and Their Uses (Revised 1944 Edition)

1944

The use of unseasoned wood has been the chief stumbling-block to the adoption of India's lesser known timbers and the impotance of proper seasoning cannot be over-emphasized. [...] In conclusion the attention of the public is drawn to the fact that the new forest products laboratories at Debra Dun are now the largest and probably the best equipped of any Forest Research Institute in the world and the advice and experience of the many specialists employed there are always at the disposal of timber users and others whether large or small without any charge. [...] The chapters on the storage of logs air and kiln seasoning and the preservation of timber have also been re-written in light of recent research on these subjects and they now contain the most up-to-date information available. [...] This could not be avoided due to the amount of war work which is being handled; as it was the little that has been done added considerably to the heavy work of the Section Officers of the Utilization Branch of the Institute. [...] The outside portions of such logs will probably have dried out to a certain extent but owing to the tension set up in the outside layers as the result of the inside of the log remaining wet while the outside portion was drying surface-cracing and the development of shakes are bound to occur.
