NOTE.—The timber in the column corresponding with an asteric may be 
recommended. 
For other timber refer to the list of woods arranged on pages 63-67 
in alphabetical order according to their durability. 
Hardwood timber should not be sawn into planks unless it is properly 
seasoned, as it is liatle to crack. Planks of softwood trees will nut 
crack but should not be used before they are perfectly dry as the amount of 
shrinkage is considerable.
