paper will give the necessary finish to
the surface. provided the plane is sharp
and it, when the surface is nearly COM
pleted, it is set SO as to cut only very
thin shavings. If CHARTERED oak OF
other hard wood is used the grain is
often torn out and roughened by the
plane, owing to the cross grained and
curly character of nearly all these
woods. This crossing and interlocking
of the fibers adds greatly to the beauty
as we'll as to the value of the wood for
furniture or decorative purposes.
When planning such woods the planning
bit must be kept very sharp - much
sharper than for softer woods-and the
cap iron must be set down to within q
hair line of the cutting edge to break off
the gnarled fbers and prevent them
from tearing out below the surface be-
ing planed. But even with this precau-
ton the plane will tear and slightly
roughen up all the fbers which lie at an
angle, contrary to the direction in
which the plane is moving.
Take careful notice of the fact that
no amount of sandpapering will ever
smooth torn surface, and before using
it a finer cutting tool is necessary
cabinet scraper. This tool is made of
thin saw-plate steel and should be about
to 5 inches long and to 3h inches
wide.
w. To sharpen the scraper, the two long
edges are first filed. fiat and square, or
at right angles to tho sides. This is best
accomplished by placing the scraper
- edge up in, the bench wise. and. while
holding the file squarely across the
scraper push and draw it steadily side
wise from end to end of the edge. This
motion will produce a drawing cut
which will give very smooth square
edge. After filing the edge true and
prevent the corners from tearing, rub
the edge smooth with an oil stone, not
only on the edge, but also on both sides,
until perfectly smooth angle is pro-
duced. Then with "scraper burnish-
er'-shown at A, in Fig. IS, or any very
hard smooth steel implement, held flat
on the side of the scraper-as shown at
B, force the edge down until it looks as
shown ate. Return the scraper to the
wise, and, holding the burnisher as at
ID by both hands Zone end of the bur-
nisher in each hand), turn this edge
back until it can be felt and appears as
ehown at E.
How to Use the Scraper.
To use the scraper hold it up at an an
gle of about thirty degrees from
vertical, and while pushing it forward
press hard and firmly to the surface OF
the wood. Never run the scraper lightly
over the wood, for this will destroy the
keen, sharp edge, but press firmly and
eonQpel it to cut like plane. If it has
been we'll sharpened it will cut perfectly
smooth and in no way tear or roughen
The cross f1bers of the surface. When
lull, resharpen with the burnisher by
first turning the cutting edges forward
again as at c, and then as before turn
ing them back, as at E.
II the burnisher is always used with
care, so as not to cut or break off these
cutting edges, the scraper may be re-
shsrpened in this manner several times.

lance was ten miles. Mr.. Vaughn won by

Webb dropped out of the race with Grip
