JO That Ualtci > Straight Onto
Appear Variegated-
' A recent product of inventivo talent
it mtrldnga bigehnngo m thatnaou-
fiicturo or veneering. Tho roiuiufact-
uroof veneering fi a pretty big bust-
ness in this put of tiv world, too, for
there are twenty.tHfco factoncs in
New York and Brooklyn, and a stack
of logs big enough to blockodo Broad-
- way threo deep or more is shaved up
every day into ribbons that are some
times seven feet wide end a thousand
long, and most beautifully figured
from end to end. Tho object in mak
ing veneering, of course, is to give a
pieco of furniture or a hullway or a
panel the beauty of expensive woods
with variegated grain without tho cost
• of using the expensive wood for tho
entire artiolc. The more wavy and
variegated tho grain of a log is, tho
more it twists and curls and run hither
and yon, tho more valuable it is for
veneering. For this reason no end of
stumps liavo been cut up into ribbons,
not to mention knots and burls.
However, tho supply of logs, with
an intricate grain ana even of good
stumps—for not ovory stump can be
used for veneering—is limited. Tlio
agents of tho veneer making flrm3
have penetrated even the least acces
sible forests of tho country in search
O of suitable timber, and tho competi
tion for trees of a twist grain has
brought tho price up so high ns to
make profits unreasonably low. Trees
have been known to bring as high as
$500 each, though it makes tho veneer
man groan to pay naif that sum.
Meantime, while tho buying agents
havo been camping out in nil Sorts of
uncomfortablo wildernesses looking
for fancy timber, a few men have
been trying to deviso plans by which
fancy grained veneering can bo made
from plain grained wood. They do
not think they havo obtained perfec
tion yet in tlio matter- What they
have done is to make tho product of a
log of plain grain sell for just four
and a half times as much as it did, say
a year ago.
To understand tho now process one
must first know what tho old ono was.
That was simplo enough. A log seven
feet long or less anu of almost any
diameter abovo seven inches, exclu
sive of sap, had its bark chipped off
With an ouzo, and was then steamed
over night in a tank mado for tho pur
pose. In tho morning it was ready to
bo fastened into a big lathoand a knife
blado as long as tho longest log used-
seven feet—was kept pressed against
tlio log so os to cut off a shaving or
ribbon about one-thirtieth of an inch
(hick as tho log revolved toward it.
Two men rolled up tho ribbon and car
ried it away ns it was turned out. Of
courso tho lmifo had to bo set parallel
with tho axis of tho log or tho wood
would not all bo cut up, and so if tho
grain of tho wood were straight, tho
ribbon could not havo a variegated ap
pearance j even had tho long, straight
knifo cut tho grain at an anglo tho
product would havo hod no value over
tho plain grain, but it was in consid
ering tho possibilities of cutting at an
anglo that tho new process was hit
upon.
Tho inventor noticed that tho growth
of no two different years in a treo hod
exactly tho some color and grain, oven
when th'o log was perfectly straight
grained.
Suppose a lmifo were mado that
would strip off a ribbon that dipped in
and out through tho growth of say two
years on a log. Certainly tho ribbon
would havo two kinds of grain and
two lands of color. To get tho ribbon
tho inventor made a knifo with a
wavy edge. Tlio waves Were a quarter
of an inch high. However, this did
not produeo a sufficient variety in tho
grain of tho ribbon to suit tlio in
ventor, and ho added to it by giving
tho knife mi oscillating movement in
tho direction of tho length of tho log
by a cam of a half inch stroko. Now,
as tho log revolved against tho knifo a
ribbon was cut which _ contained con
tinuous waves that zigzagged up and
down in tho direction of tno length of
tho log, and exposed a grain not only
variegated in color by tho varying
depths to which tho knife cut, but
which was at tho samo timo very
wavy, if not curly in nppcaranco. Tho
variations in tho color even of a plain
black walnut log were remarkable and
beautiful.
^gioro was ono objection to tlio ve
neering, and that was it did not lio
down tint on tho surfaco to which it
was to bo glued. This was remedied,
however, by stacking up tho ribbon in
a pressure of forty tons to tlio square
inch. It came out of that press flat.
At present threo kinds or knives are
used 111 these machines. There is no
telling .what now forms of knives
will bo invented Tho machino itself
is but little more expensive than tho
old stylo, but a kmfo costs several
times os much. Besides, when a knife
gets dull, a man has to labor over it
with emery wheels for just a month to
get it in ordor again.—Now York Sun.
