Not illustrated. 1902 Excerpt: ...contributes towards its preservation. Timber destined for marine usages takes different names according to its dimensions and forms. As for oak timber-work, large timber is taken, that whose medium circumference exceeds 4 ft. 4 in.; the others are designated under the name of small timber-work. Localities, diameters, and lengths cause the names which are given to the different pieces of fir-wood to vary. They are given in the following table: --Moreover, the wood is classified as cleft timber and sawu timber. The sawn product consists of planks of different dimensions. The cleft timber comprises staves, staff-wood, vine-props, hoops, laths, etc. The sawing is generally done with the following varieties: oak, fir, pitch, Sylvester pine, beech, and poplar. Sawings of oak and beech are done in the forests with long saws. The piece which should be transformed into planks is at first squared; the kerfs are then traced upon it, which will be followed by the saw. To take care of the quality and beauty of the grain, it should always be sawn sur maillf--that is to say, following the direction of the medullary rays. In taking this precaution, planks are also obtained which do not crack or warp so much. As a rule, the dimension given to oak sawings varies according to the country and trees to be sawn. The merchantable plank, in which a part of the sapwood subsists, is most often 0-28 m. wide, by 3 to 4 rams. in thickness and 4 m. long. In Paris the commercial dimensions are of two types, the scantling and the interjoist; these dimensions are summarised in the following table: --Length. Thickness. Cms. Cms.
