Timbers of Sabah.

Abstract

A new work, replacing Keith's 'The timbers of North Borneo' [cf. F.A. 9 No. 2229]. For each species (or for species-groups with similar wood characteristics) data are given on botanical identity, distribution, size of tree, timber characteristics and uses. Includes a dichotomous anatomical key, based on Menon [cf. F.A. 25 No. 4051], and appendices on timber borers, timber testing etc. KEYWORDS: Forest products and their utilization \ Tropical timbers \ wood anatomy \ wood properties \ Sabah timbers \ Sabah
