It will not warp, but will burst open at A; it will not shrink in width, but will get thinner. It will warp ir* the direction of the bark. That is why quarter-sawed lumber should never be edged up until it is seasoned. HI. M. C. ADAMS, ELLETTSVILLE, IND. 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 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, Ont. : Southam Business Publications
