The second part of the book covers foreign timber trees, including those found in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Each tree is similarly described in detail, with information on its natural habitat, growth patterns, and uses. Throughout the book, Laslett provides practical advice on the selection, felling, and preparation of timber for various applications.
