CONCRETE POTTERY AND GARDEN FURNITURE 
_ By RALPH C. DAVISON 
HIS book describes in detail in a A010 VL LLL, FLINTS FINE FURNITURE | 
most practical manner the var- 
ious methods of casting concrete 
for ornamental and useful pur- 
poses and covers the entire field 
of ornamental concrete work. It tells 
how to make all kinds of concrete vases, 
ornamental flower pots, concrete pedes- 
tals, concrete, benches, concrete fences, 
ete. Full practical instructions are given 
for constructing and finishing the differ- 
ent kinds of molds, making the wire 
forms or frames, selecting and mixing 
the ingredients, covering the wire frames 
and modeling the cement mortar into 
form, and casting and finishing the 
various objects. With the information 
given in this book any handyman or 
novice can make many useful and ornamental objects of cement 
for the adornment ofthe home or garden. The author has taken for 
granted that the reader knows nothing whatever about the material, 
and has explained each progressive step in the various operations 
throughout in detail. These directions have been supplemented 
with many half-tone and line illustrations which are so clear that 
no one can possibly misunderstand them. The amateur craftsman 
who has been working in clay will especially appreciate the adapt- 
ability of concrete for pottery work inasmuch as it is a cold process 
throughout, thus doing away with the necessity of kiln firing which 
is necessary with the former material. The information on color 
work alone is worth many times the cost of the book inasmuch as 
there is little known on the subject and there is a large growing de- 
mand for this class of work. Following is a list of the chapters 
which will give a general idea of the broad character of the work. 
I. Making Wire Forms or Frames. VIII. Selection of Aggregates.
