Timber.—(a) Economics.—This is the most widely dis- 
tributed species of the genus, and its timber therefore is 
more extensively used than that of any other Callitris. It 
is preferable to that of C. calcarata, R. Br., owing to its 
comparative freedom from knots, its straighter grain and 
lighter colour, and so is in general request for certain parts 
of house construction in the West and Central Divisions of 
the State. It is an easy working timber, and although 
usually possessing a quiet neat figure, it occasionally 
has some very handsome markings, which make it a 
valuable timber for some kinds of cabinet work, such as 
panelling etc. When polished on the flat it is very attrac- 
tive, and the decorative characters are well brought out 
in turned stands or columns for busts, statuettes, etc. 
Some such adorn the landings of the Technological Museum 
and are a constant source of admiration to visitors. 
The white ant or Termites is not particularly partial to 
it, and will attack it only as adernier ressort, and this fact 
of course accounts for its utilisation for fence and founda- 
tion posts in which capacity it is reputed to be very durable. 
The supply unfortunately of this most useful timber is
