 reaching its greatest development on the rich bottom lands of the Coquille and other rivers of southern Oregon, 

 where, with the California laurel, it forms dense, heavy forests. 



Wood light, soft, not strong, close-grained, compact, easily worked, susceptible of a good polish ; medullary 

 rays numerous, thin; color, rich light brown tinged with red, the sap-wood lighter, often nearly white; specific 

 gravity, 0.4909; ash, 0.54; largely used in Oregon iu the manufacture of furniture, for ax and broom handles, 

 frames of snow-shoes, etc. ; specimens with the grain beautifully curled and contorted are common and valued in 

 cabinet-making.
