4f6^ EXPLANATION OF PLATE XIII. 



9. A small tool with only one sharp edge, 

 to be used in places where Fig. 11. can- 

 not be admitted. 



10. A knife, with two blunt edges, for scrap- 

 ing off rotten wood, &c. where the Com- 

 position is to be applied. 



11. A large chisel with a strong plate of iron 



screwed upon the face of it, like a double 

 iron for a plane, to prevent its running in 

 too far where the tree is cross-grained. 



12. A tool in form of a sickle, without teeth. 

 This is to scrape stems and branches of 

 trees on the side next the wall. 



N. B. The tools represented by Fig. 1, 2, 6, 

 and 11, have handles of different lengths, to be 

 used as occasion requires. 



Besides the above-mentioned tool§, it will be 

 necessary to have an adze, and chisels and gouges 

 of different forms and sizes. Crooked chisels like 

 those used by carvers will be found very useful in 

 clearing small wounds from dead and rotten wood.
