Description: |
| Claim:
In fashioning columns from Oregon fir, considerable difficulty has been experienced heretofore, by reason of the fact that there is extant in the art, no lathe tools which will work this material without splintering. Moreover, owing to the difliculty in working this particular wood, there is, so far as I am advised as to the state of the art, no lathe tool which will in a single operation, cut down the wood to the required diameter, and give to the wood a finished appearance, without the aid of sandpaper or a flat edged finishing tool.
It is the object of this invention, therefore, broadly speaking, to provide a lathe tool which, in a single passage over the material, will reduce the material to the required diameter, and leave a smooth finish, so that a completed structural element will be fashioned by a single passage of the tool longitudinally of the material, when the material is rotated in a lathe. |
