What reading level is A Handbook of Forestry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The timber is of much the same colour throughout; where the older rings are darker in colour, it is usually a sign of incipient decay. The medullary rays appear to be broad, but in reality they are compound, being composed of several finer rays placed close together ; a distinguishing feature is the satin-like appearance of these rays. The colour is variable, a reddish tinge being present on beech grown on good soil. This wood is largely employed for chair-making in Buckinghamshire, in which co...unty large beech woods exist. On the Continent, it is largely employed as fuel. Its principal uses are: — Furniture, tool handles, wooden screws, turnery, shoe lasts, agricultural implements, and charcoal. 1 Shake is the term applied to cracks in the trunk, which entail waste in conversion. They may run from the pith outward when the term " star " shake is used, or as in the case of a "ring" shake a separation of the annual rings takes place. 50 Timber When creosoted, it makes fair fencing material, although it has the reputation of being brittle when the posts are driven in; if, however, their upper ends are cut square, and if driven in properly, there is little fault to be found in this respect.
