Dovetailed Bookrack. Fig. 177. (See Handbook: Fig. 41.) Material: Oak or Poplar. Dovetail the pieces together as shown in the sketch; if the design shown is used, be sure that the curves are symmetrical. It is better, however, that the student make an original design for the end. When the model has been glued, and set away to harden, be sure that the ends stand square with the bottom. See Fig. 78, A.
This model may be given a shellac finish, or stained and finished in wax.
