What reading level is On the Strength of American Timber book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The structure is alternately very compact and quite porous.
Its annual rings are thus very distinctly marked.
It exhibits no medullary rays, and the wood has neither taste nor odor. When of good quality it is difficult to cut and work. It is a very valuable timber.
It is especially valued for fence posts and rails, or boarding, but is seldom found of sufficient size and in quantity sufficient to be used in the latter form. It turns well in the lathe and has great torsional strength and resilien...ce, excelling -all other common woods in this quality.
The Ash (Frojxinus excelsior) of Hurope arid the White Ash (Fraa;^ Digitized by VjOOQ IC inns Amencand) of America are also valuable timber trees. Theil* woods have many useful applications; Ash is quite similar in color to oak and in texture to chestnut. It is straight-grained, remarkably tough and elastic^ excelling all other common woods, and answers admirably for handspikes, heavy oars, ship blocks, tool handles, the wooden portions and framing of machinery, and for wheel carriages and agricultural implements.
