giving the veneer, which is glued outside the piece of 

 furniture, a wavy surface. 



3. Artistic and Fancy Ware. 



The manufacture of artistic and fancy ware forms a branch 

 of cabinet-making, and is used in the finer pieces of furniture, 

 picture-frames, clock-cases, etc. ; according to the present 

 fashion (old German, Italian Renaissance, Rococo styles, etc.) 

 it is accompanied more or less by artistic carving, inlaying 

 with metals, mosaic work, etc. 



Walnut, oak, fruit-trees, maples, birch and coniferous wood 

 are used, partly solid and partly veneered. 



Many exotic woods are used, especially mahogany and 

 foreign walnut, maple and ash-burrs ; also ebony, rosewood, 

 satinwood, olive-wood, violet- wood, thuya, juniper and cypress 

 wood, teak and pitch-pine. 



Wooden frames for mirrors and pictures, which are made 

 in Saxon and Bavarian factories and also by individual hand- 

 work, are chiefly of coniferous wood, but also of oak and 

 ash. 



4. Model-making. 



All models used for cast-metal works, of machines, imple- 

 ments, etc., are made chiefly of coniferous planks and 

 scantling of the best quality, but also of lime, maple, alder, 

 ash, pear and beechwood. The model-maker is a real artist 

 in his line. 



5. Wood for Tools and Implements. 



Plane-boxes, turning-lathes, presses, joiners' benches, 

 mangles, handles of tools, etc., are made chiefly of beech, 

 hornbeam, oak and ash. The framework of agricultural 

 implements also uses up much coniferous wood, as well as the 

 above species. 



6. Miscellaneous Goods. 



Many other industries may be added, which are also 

 branches of cabinet-making, such as the manufacture of 

 billiard-tables, boxes, sword-sheaths, and articles used in 

 dairies and cheese-making establishments.
