My vinvention relates to improvements in the rows of shingles. In making the shingles wood shingles and particularly to a method a shoulder 9 is formed between the smooth of making the same. face 7 and the split grain face 8, which may It is an object vof the invention to provide serve as an abutment for the butt ends of a shingle having a natural rustic appearance the next row of shingles or may be eliminated 55 which will impart an artistic effect to the roof by Cutting the shoulder down. When the or other surface. shoulder is provided it must be formed with- `A further object of the invention is to proin one-third of the length of the shingle from vide a shingle having the naturally split grain the butt for .spaced shingles and within one- 10 of the wood on the upper surface, adjacent half the length of the shingle from the butt co the butt end of the shingle and the surface for abutting shingles. adjacent the tip of the shingle smooth. The shingles are made by taking a tapered Another object of the invention is to problock 10 having smooth plane faces 11 and vide a shingle which is simple and practical 12, cutting a Vertical slot 18 in the upper in construction, eflicient in use and inexpenend of the block by sawing the tip along its 65 sive to' manufacture. longitudinal center line, the slot extending Other objects and advantages of the invendown to point less than one-half the length tion will be apparent during the course of the of the block and then splitting the block following description. longitudinally for the rest of its length, as 20 i In the accompanying drawing, forming a more clearly shown in Fig. 3.
