Although there exists
a large number of published works on Malaysian timbers, these publications
are often scattered resulting in a haphazard and often incomplete gathering
of information. Thus, the idea of bringing together, compiling and summarising information on Malaysian timbers into a
single publication has become necessary so as to provide a quick access to
such information. The dictionary covers a large array of timber species,
provides information such as the physical, mechanical and processing
properties of each species, and gives the current and potential uses of as
many timber species as possible. It is hoped that with the information
presented, lesser-known and hitherto underutilized timbers can be better
understood and utilized. The entries are arranged in alphabetical order
making checking of information very easy. It is, therefore, a handy reference
material for timber traders, students, scientists and those who work with
timbers in one way or another. |
