Wood: Oak.
Preparatory: Make working drawing and stock list. Cut all pieces to required dimensions, making allowance for working.

Complete the model by the same exercises and progression as described in Fig. 42. The only important adaptations necessary will be in Ex. 1 E, in which the grooves should be made 5/16" deep. In Ex. 3 F, 7/32" should be made
Ex. 3 G should read: cut from the front and back edge to the tenons with a saw, and cut out the space between the tenons with a frame or turning saw. Begin this cut with a hole made by an auger bit large enough to start the saw.
