    Default Wanted: Nomenclature of Australian Timbers, parts 1,2 and 4 reprinted 1944

    G’day,

    I was was going through the last of my dad’s possessions a month or so ago and found this treasure. I call it a treasure given that it details the total of Australian timbers of the time and many are no longer available.

    This is a real long shot I know, but I’m looking for parts 1,2 and 4 to make the full set of the ‘Nomenclature of Australian Timbers’, first published in Melbourne in 1940 and reprinted in 1944.

    Gday Waldo

    I understand going through Dad's stuff only too well.
    Closest I could get to the publication is;
    https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/1806734
    Check out the Can I borrow and Can I get copies links on the right.
    I hope this is what your looking for and leads somewhere positive for you.
    Good luck
    Keith
