Wood and Forest

'M', in the context of lumber measurement, means '1000 feet'. From 'Handwork in Wood'*, Chapter III, page 48. Also (ibid): "There are several methods of measuring lumber. The general rule is to multiply the length in feet by the width and thickness in inches and divide by 12, thus: 1" 6" 15' 12 = 7 feet." Chapter II has three types of footnotes, with different notations. References to the author's previous book, being short, are placed at the end of the paragraph; numbered technical or tabular footnotes, or footnotes referencing other publications are collected at the end of the Chapter, before the Chapter Bibliography; and Chapter Bibliography footnotes are placed at the end of the Chapter Bibliography. In later Chapters, numbered footnotes are placed either at the end of the Chapter (before the Bibliography) or at the end of a relevant section of a Chapter. Chapter III (et alia): As this e-book has been prepared from scanned images, it is impossible to accurately depict the sizes of some of the illustrations. Each 'Leaf' illustration is supplied with a 1 inch scale measure, as the size of the leaves and cone/fruit varied considerably. However, the cross-sections of wood were shown as 'magnified 37 diameters', and the radial and tangential sections were shown 'life size', and the illustrations in the original book were of uniform size. The illustrations of the sections in this e-book are of uniform size, but the correct size of each would be somewhere between the image on the page and the enlargement. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
