PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Process of Wood-inlay.
I, GEORGE JOHN MONEY, of 55 Mansford Street, Hackney Road, London,
Cabinet Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
According to my invention, grooves are cut laterally in a board, and strips of
fancy wood are glued in. The board is then cut through longitudinally,
diagonally, or in curves, and the cut pieces placed together and glued in such
a position that the fancy wood strips are separated into squares, diamonds, or other
devices, with similar squares or diamonds of the original board coming between the
fancy strips, so as to give a chequered or varied appearance.
In this way an effective and solid ornamental wood for panels, flooring, and like
purposes is produced at a moderate cost.
Dated this 15th day of February 1894.

An improved & FOOOOD
I, GEORGE JOHN MONEY, of 55 Mansford Street, Hackney Road, London,
Cabinet Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to a new or improved process of wood-inlay, whereby I am
enabled to produce a varied and ornamental surface.
According to my invention, grooves are cut across the surface of the piece of
wood which is intended to be used as a groundwork, and strips of fancy or
ornamental wood are glued or otherwise secured into such grooves. The grooves
and strips may be of any width, and of any distance apart.
The board or plank with the strips thereon is then cut in a direction diagonal,
rectangular, or curvilinear to the said strips, and the cut pieces are put together
and glued or fastened, not as originally formed, but in such a manner that each
fancy wood strip is separated into squares, diamonds, or other sections, with similar
or diverse sections of the original board coming between the sectional parts of the
strips so as to form a chequered or varied appearance.
In the accompanying drawings are represented, at Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, several
different modes in which my invention may be carried out, in each case the
darkened parts A representing the fancy wood, whilst the plain parts B represent
the exposed surfaces of the original board; but it is obvious that many other
designs may be constructed according to my invention; and strips of several
different kinds of wood may be employed.
Fig. 6 shews a section on the line x-y Fig. 4 of the board or plank with the
strips inserted therein.
By the above means, an effective and solid ornamental wood for panels, flooring,
and like purposes, is produced at a moderate cost.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
The improved process of wood-inlay hereinbefore described, consisting of the
insertion of fancy or ornamental strips of wood into a board or plank, and
afterwards cutting up and re-arranging the parts of said board so as to form a
varied or chequered appearance.
