Useful for general building purposes, especially verandah flooring boards (it having of late years 
taken the place of Beech, being much more plentiful and cheaper), coach-building, railway-carriage, and 
coopers’ work. It makes an excellent substitute for brass plummer blocks, in which (without oil) shafting 
may be run at a fairly high rate of speed. In this way it has been found especially suitable for the 
shafts or spindles of heavy grindstones. It is one of our most useful and durable timbers.— {Cat.
