      OUR TREES AND THEIR USES

      OUR British Oak is at once the grandest, most famous and most useful tree. The old wooden warships were constructed entirely of oak, and it is still used to some extent for ships and boats. The great roofs of our cathedrals and churches are also oak. The slow growth of the tree is the reason for its durability and strength, although oaks grown in certain types of soil are valueless for commercial purposes. Home and office furniture, chests, gates, beams and panelling are still favoured in oak. It is also the favourite wood for carving. Modern methods have revealed more beauty than ever in the grain of oak.

      OUR TREES AND THEIR USES

      KING WILLOW rules in the summer, and the fine trees of Cambridgeshire and Norfolk are carefully grown to provide us with cricket bats. There are several species of willow, all with commercial uses. Shoemakers’ lasts and artificial limbs are made from one type, while the osier provides baskets and wicker furniture. Wooden brake blocks, wheel barrows and carts all use this valuable timber.

This saves sawing and simplifies the
