It will be noticed that the piece out of which thecurved or twisted piece is made is thicker than thepiece which is parallel with the landing. After the pieces are sawed out, proceed to lay outthe lines by which the rail is to be worked out. Thetemplet E, Fig. 122, is used to obtain the perpendicu-lar and the horizontal lines, from which is drawn therectangle that is seen on the end of the rail, (in ,) and the templet seen on the right (in Fig. 133)is used to obtain the curved lines on the top. Workoff the surplus stock on each side of the rectanglewith the draw knife and the spokeshave, then workoff the top and the bottom, taking care to make a ELEMENTARY COURSE IN WOODWORK. 113 graceful curve on the top and the bottom. Thenmark the shape of the rail on the end and work Fig. 134 is seen the finished twist developed fromthe pieces shown at Fig. Fig. 131 NOTES. TO DISSOLVE SHELLAC. Put gum shellac into a glass or earthen vessel (a wooden boxcoated inside with glue makes a very good vessel in which todissolve shellac), and pour over it alcohol enough to cover theshellac; keep stirring it until no lumps remain. This will takefrom two to three hours, according to quantity. If left in a tincan the shellac becomes very dark. To clear it when dark adda little oxalic acid and stir until cleared. TO POLISH WITH SHELLAC. Dissolve shellac in 90 per cent alcohol. Stir for two hours,though not continually; do not allow it to stand long enough forlumps to settle. After the shellac is dissolved the polish isready for use. Now take a piece of old soft woolen material, and form it intoa ball about the size of an egg in a way to permit the lower sideto remain smooth. On the latter pour abou
