A. Gluing a wide board: This is an exercise in gluing up a board so that the effect of the tendency to warp will be minimized, which may be accomplished by so placing narrow pieces that the concave and con- vex sides of the annual rings will alternate in forming the surface of the FIG. 163. DRAWING BOARD.
board. These sides may be determined by examining the annual

B. Dealing across the grain : The cleats should be screwed upon the back as shown; the holes for the screws being slotted by boring two SUPPLEMENTARY MODELS 139 holes beside each other, parallel with the grain, which will allow the screws to move a little back and forth as the board shrinks and swells.
