Surveying for timber decay
Since the time of primitive man, timber has remained the most useful and versatile of all naturally available materials. Its obvious aesthetic value makes it irreplaceable in the manufacture of fine musical instruments, furniture and great works of sculpture, but its greatest use is in the construction of our dwellings. Whether used in its almost natural state to construct a forester's log cabin, or sliced up into convenient pieces to build most of the world's homes, it is unsurpassed for versatility, ease of working and mechanical strength.
