| Notes: | Label source: The second most important tree of the state. It grows to a great height (trees of 280ft. having been measured), with a bole of 100ft. to 140ft. and a diameter of 8ft. to 10ft. Weight per cubic foot (green) 72lbs. At 12 per cent. moisture 58, lbs. Transverse strength 17,300lbs. per square inch. Tensile strength 18,750lbs per square inch. A hard, strong wood. It closely resembles jarrah timber, but the grain is longer and it is a much stronger wood. It is beyond doubt a splendid superstructual, timber, and is strongly to be recomended for heavy beams, roof purposes, etc. It is not durable in the ground, and does not resist white ants. It is on Lloyd`s list of shipbuilding timbers, and is suitable for all purposes where large sections of great st, rength are necessary. It has been found very satisfactory for wooden pipes, and it makes a good wood for railway wagon and similar work. | ||||
