Even a cursory glance at this list will show 

 that the heavy, hard woods, the Teaks and Ebo- 

 nies for example, are natives of warm climates. 

 Even woods of the same kind vary in quality 

 according to the situation in which they grow. 

 This is well exemplified in the case of the Northern 

 Pine (Pinus sylvestris) growing in Britain. 

 Timber from the Scottish forests is almost 

 invariably of superior quahty to the English- 

 grown product. The Scottish wood is harder, 

 closer grained in almost every case.
