INSERTING THE GRAFT 



Figure 9. The prepared graft is then in- 

 serted in the "slot"— with the longer edge 

 of the wedge next to the wood. When the 

 graft has been forced gently but firmly into 

 place a fine brad is driven through both bark 

 and graft into the solid wood. 



THE FINISHED GRAFT 



Figure 10. After the brad is in place 

 all exposed surfaces, and the entire graft 

 as well, are carefully covered over with 

 melted paraffin, which must be fluid, but 

 not hot enough to injure the delicate cut 

 surfaces.
