I t will be seenthat th e bevel is sunk slightlybelow the face of th e front, asth e trifling break gives a muchbetter effect than i f the bevelstarted direct from th e flat. Besides which, it renders clean, truework more easy of accomplishment, especially if th e bevel is afairly w1de one, when it wouldotherwise be a most difficultmatter to get a sharp, clearly-defined line. To form the sunkbevel a rabbet plat1e will be indispensable, for unless the bevelcan be cut regularly i t shouldnot be attempted, an d i t is almostimpossible to do so by other meanswithout a considerable amount

of l abour - more than the resul t isworth. In forming the bevel first marki t all round th e front with a cuttinggauge, then take a little off on the out~ ! i t l e of th e line with a chisel, takingcare not to let this cu t on to the fiatfront of th e drawer. A guide is th usformed for th e rabbet plane to workagainst as i t cuts down the bevel, whichon th e end grain will probably have tobe finished off with glass paper. Th isshould he held round a flat, straight etlged piece of wood instea.cl of on th eordinary cork r ubber, in 01clet to avoidronnding the edge of the break betweenth e bevel and the flat surface. I t isalmost needless to say that the upperedge of th e plinth should be simply beYelled off instead of being moulded as inth e original bureau, and that th e edgesof the lid should be finished in a sim ilarmanner rather than be rounded off.

I f further adornment to the bureau bed esired, we see how it may be managedby referring to Fig. 1, where th e lid orfall is rep resented with the panel sunkl j g h t l y below the fram ing, th e edges ofwhich are seen to be stop chamfered.F urther, the panel itself may be channelled or grooved ns shown by th e diagonal lines, in which case it will be aswell to let the grain of the wood runvarallel with them, instead of from endto end of the lid. Th e section of th echannel:; ot V groo,es, a.c:; they are commonly called, from their resemblance tothat letter, shown by Fig. 4. They

may be eastly formed by th e use of aplane, the sole an d iron of which areshaped to correspond, bu t as a ~ r o o v i n gplane of this kind is hardly hkely toform part of the amateur's outfit, th ealternative of cutting th e groove with achisel will probably have to be resortedto. If, however, the plane is accessibleto any who may no t know how to work it.when they have go t it , it may be saidthnt a guide in the form of a straightpiece of wood will have t o be temporarilyfixed to the board to be channelled. Th erewill then be no difficulty in ploughing th egrooves straight an d even. To cu t th egrooves with a chisel is certainly a moreserious matter, bu t with care there is 110reason why the work should no t be as successfully accomplished. I f it is consideredto facilitate operations the channellingwhich, by the way, should no t be too wide,say not over t in.- a small gouge may beused at first, th e channel afterwards beingbrought to its proper shape with the chisel!or with a scratch or router, of which a ful
