Face and Facing are architectural terms in common use, as " face 

 of a house," " a brick," " a piece of wood," " a block of 

 stone," " inner and outer face of a wall," etc. " Facing " is 

 applied to a substance possessing a face, as " a facing brick," 

 " a facing stone," etc., or a piece of wrought-wood used to 

 face or give a finish to an object it is desirable to hide. A 

 facing may thus be of " plaster," " brick," " stone " or 

 " wood." A " veneer " is a facing of superior quality on a 

 groundwork of ordinary wood.

 it is poor business for the mill. See " Machine Sawing."
