foreign than by our own people Heavy
Shipmtns have been made to England,
where it is in demand for such purposes rs
The inleri I finishing of ships cabins and
railway carriages Like many other Amer
lean woods, bird>'-eye maple would prob
ably be much more extensively used here
if we We're Obliged to import it. Burl.
blister and birds'-eye are varieties Of both
walnut and maple, and are thus called
from the natural figure of the woods. Ash
burl is largely used in general vcnecring
This and birds eye maple are sonnet times
dyed, he most common color being sill
yer gray. This is only done on ordered
work. The wood of the butternut and
the oak when c,ntaining blrls, is used for
vrnecrS.
\ comparatively new wood in this part
of the country is the California redwood.
Burls are very rare in this Nood. and strips
continuing them are worth from ten to
twenty cents Il foot. California laural burl
is even higher in price. twenty five cents a
