Since the foregoing was written, and at the time of going to press (1898), the firm have commenced the erection of further extensive shed accommodation for the large stocks of hard and fancy woods, in logs, planks and dry boards —the former consisting of teak, English and American oak, mahogany, walnut, maple, birch, American and English ash, cedar, hickory, Californian redwood, and every other description of hard wood. The stock of dry boards includes walnut, satin walnut, mahogany, pitch pine, figured oak, American whitewood, and Spanish chestnut; and that of planks, pitch pine, Oregon pine, Kauri pine, oak, birch, mahogany and teak. The whole of these are available for the execution of orders at a moment's notice, and practically in any quantity. The stock is replenished as required from time to time, and matures in huge roofed sheds of the open or skeleton type, every plank being separated from its neighbours so as to receive the current of air conducive to this process. Everything that ample capital, skilled supervision, and long experience in the trade can effect, is available in this detail of preparation, and the firm justly pride themselves on the uniform soundness and thoroughly seasoned quality of all the timber and of every article that leaves their works.
