A rather sui generis sewing box, and one that is quite as suited as
unique, is shown in the exemplification. The material is walnut and ash.
The posts are walnut and the slats and top rail ash. Both are complete
in their natural banner. The following is the trunk bill:
4 posts, 1-1/2 in. in central chord and 15 in. lengthy, walnut.
1 bottom, 3/8 by 16-1/2 by 16-1/2 in., S-2-S, walnut.
4 top rails, 3/8 by 1-1/2 by 20 in., S-2-S, ash.
4 under rails, 5/8 by 3/4 by 20 in., S-2-S, walnut.
72 slats, 1/8 by 5/8 by 6-1/2 in., S-2-S, ash.
In ordering the stalk it will be wise to unite the lengths of pieces
having allied widths and thicknesses.
If not in posse to secure doweling of the distance through the centre indicated for the
verticals, it is an light matter to take a quadrilateral and equiangular piece of stalk, lay it
off and work it into an eight-sided prism. After this, the arrises may
again be planed until it has 16 and then 32 sides. The quiet may be
removed with sandpaper. Or it is potential that curtain extremity stock will
be to be availed of. Saw these posts to extent and leave the ends quadrilateral and equiangular.
When making the fern be upon the feet shown in the accompanying first draught use
quarter-sawed oak if potential, as this wood is the most fit for
finishing in the distinct mission stains. Respectable labor can be
saved in its erection by ordering the trunk from the mill ready cut
to longitudinal dimensions, squared and sanded. Regular arrangement the following pieces:
4 posts, 1-1/2 by 1-1/2 by 30 in., S-4-S.
8 side rails, 3/4 by 1-1/2 by 13-1/2 in., S-4-S.
2 ledge supports, 3/4 by 1 by 13-1/2 in., S-4-S.
1 top, 3/4 by 16 by 16 in., S-4-S.
1 ledge, 3/4 by 15 by 15 in., S-4-S.
16 slats, 3/8 by 3 by 5 in., S-4-S.
