ABSTRACT
The tracery in the Gothic styles is usually fret-cut and glued upon the panel with the grain in the same direction as the panel, as shown in figures 446 and 447. The mouldings in framing of the Gothic styles are usually stuck on the solid. The mouldings are not jointed at the angles in the usual way, but are returned about the angles by what is known as a mason’s mitre. The upper horizontal edges of the members are often chamfered, not moulded, the moulding on the vertical members either dying into the chamfer, or being stopped a few inches above the chamfered edge. The seat is housed into the back, and has a rail under front edge to support it, and if the seat is longer than 8 feet should have an upright under the centre. Floor boards are laid by one of the methods shown in Elementary Course.
