Summary:

The application of wood to building purposes is limited by the fact that it is much less uniform in its physical characteristics than either iron or steel. The properties of any particular kind of timber oftern vary considerably between one log and another and even between two parts of the same log, so that great uncertainty exists as to the maximum stresses permissible without risk of failures. Some technical experts in the timber industry claim that they are able to judge the value of wood from its appearence and is behavior when worked (from the shavings, et cetera).
