BURIED FOREST WOOD
NO USE COMMERCIALLY (From Our Own Correspondent) HAMILTON, Friday. Is the wood which was cut from the buried forest, revealed by hydraulic operations at Arapuni, suitable for commercial use? This cjuestion has been raised by several timber men who have brought samples of white pine, matai and rewa into Hamilton. Although there are no signs of decay, it was stated by an exper.t that exposure to the air after long interment would soon decompose it. This was the case even with r;uch endurable woods as kauri. The buried forest at Arapuni therefore would be of little commercial value, even if its extent was much greater than it is.
