2 Seed Stick 111

Full Size.

Model No. 2. - Seed Stick.

Prepare pieces of wood 1" wide and 10" long, sawed from a 7-8" board.

Make an oblong 17-32" x 9 1-16", using the plane on the side faces and the knife on the end faces, following the same rules in lining, cutting, and squaring as in model No. 1.

Draw lines around the stick 1-2" from one end and 3" from the other end. Draw the plan upon two opposite sides of the stick. Cut the notches with a knife, and also to the oblique lines.

Place the stick with one corner uppermost in the vice, bevel the four longer edges with the plane: with the knife bevel the edges on the oblique sides and on the ends.

By wrapping sand-paper around a small square block finish up the ends first, then the oblique sides and then the remaining sides. If the model is too long, cut from the smaller end.
