tjHigr 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. , Ho Nctlvo 8pnnt :ri", -Outfit." is wonderful the number of arti- a Spaniard needs for even c short iy.
