a means for producing OF the most nove'.
beautiful, economical and easily attained effects
ever obtained any wood for interior trim. Its
extreme simplicity is of the chief factors in
its success. The only tools necessary are gaso
line torch, such is used by plumbers or painters
an ordinary steel wire brush and small scrub
bing brush.
In selecting cypress for sugi work. care should
be taken to that the wood is fiat grained, with
very little edge grain, and that it is perfectly dry
The only defects to be avoided are splits. large
season checks and unsound knots. On account OF
the slightly uneven surface. 1t is difficult to glue
the edges OF two boards together, as may be done
with oak mahogany. etc. and for this reason 1t is
better to limit paneling to twelve or, preferably,
ten inches Another reason is that it will take
huge logs to produce very wide boards showing
fiat grain figure the full width.
The torch used should have as large and as
hot a blue flame as possible, since speed in burn
ing the wood is important. II the surface can be
charred so quickly that the heat does not go
through the board the result will be much better
and much time will be saved The use OF TWO
torches at one time, arranged on a handle so that
the flames are couple OF inches apart will also
facilitate the work.
Since the burning is for the purpose OF colorng
the hard parts OF the outer grain only. 1t is inn
portant not to burn too deeply. II the charrng Is
carried too far the soft parts will be burned clear
through to the next hard grain and the effect will
not be nearly so good
The mill work should be done and the individual
pieces burned and brushed out before they are put
into place because of the tendency of the wood to
warp when subjected to the intense heat OF the
gasoline fame-equaling about 1000 degrees
Warpng under such conditions is perfectly natural
and unavoidable and need cause no worry. Wood
that is considered absolutely dry still contains as
much moisture ordinary indoor atmosphere,
or about 10 per cent The heat has the effect of
driving this moisture from the burned surface Of
the wood through to the reverse side. thereby
causing shrinkage OF one face and swelling
of the other The result is that the charred face
becomes concave and the other face convex BY
setting the board aside Immediately after the
burning and allowing 1t to stand for two or three
days, 1t will reabsorb enough moisture to balance
up with the atmosphere and thus stralghten out.
1t is then ready for the rubbing process.
1t is advisable to do the burning In narrow two
or three inch strips the full length OF the board
rather than to start at the top and work over the
full width. The thing to avoid is overburn-
ing The ultimate color effect 10 not controlled
nearly SO much by the burning as by the brush
