Mr. Editor,— I notice in the columns of your paper the question is asked how to saw "quartered" oak * *" I have a drawing of the way I saw it:—Fig 1 repre- sents a log that is quartered by sawing through the center first, and then splitting the halves in center. Lay quarter on blocks with bark side down, and saw it as represented in the drawing. The object of "quar- tering" is to show the grain of the timber, and I think this way the best. Fig. 2 represents a log that is too- small to quarter. The part that is not lined off may be sawed as the sawyer may wish, the balance, if sawed as represented in drawing, will sell as "quartered" lum- ber, for it is plain to be seen that it will show the graiit or figure as well as if the log had been T. M. & J- C. DICKSON, INDIANAPOLIS, IND. We notice in your issue of October Kst you wish ideas in regard to quarter-sawed oak. We enclose you a diagram showing the method we have used for years^. and with great advantage, and if any benefit to you in your investigations, you are welcome to it. 1. Take octagon A, (right hand at top), saw off B. three inches from center. 2. Turn A down flat and cut off C. 3. Turn A down again and cut off D; 4. Turn A back and cut off 6x6 of heart. 5. Turn A heart side down, and finish in boards. 6. Put C on blocks and cut boards as indicated. 7. Finish balance of C as indicated in G. 8. Cut E and B same as C. All the sap boards are saved in making the octagon, and the heart is made into a 6x6. Use no logs less than 26 inches in diameter at the small Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Don Mills, O
