SPIECPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 368,567, dated August 23. 1887.

Application tiled January 28, 1887. Serial No. 225,748. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. BROCK, of Plainiield, county of Union, and State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvementsin Veneered Tongued and Grooved Lumber, to be used in wainscoting and for other purposes to which it may be adapted.

Figure 1 represents a view in perspective of fragments of several pieces of boards tongued and grooved in the usual manner and having veneering applied thereto in my improved manner. Fig. 2 is a View in perspective of a fragment of a board tongued and grooved, and showing my improved method of applying the veneering thereto detached. Fig. 3 is a similar view to Fig. 2, showing the' tongued side ofa board only with the veneering applied.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings making part of this specification.

The object of this invention is to veneer tongued and grooved boards so as to adapt them to be used in wainscoting and other similar purposes where it is desirable ,to exclude moisture from the edges of the veneering to prevent it from becoming detached or separated, as will be hereinafter described.

A in the accompanying drawings represents a number of boards tongued, grooved, and matched in the usual manner of preparing boards to be used in Wainscoting, ceiling, &c. In preparing the boards to be veneered the groove Bis made of sufficient width to reeeive the tongue C and two thicknesses ofthe veneering, as shown in Fig. 1.

rlhe veneering D is applied to the surface of the boards in the ordinary manner and eX- tends over thel shoulder E and to the end of the tongue, as shown in the several iigures. On the grooved edge the veneering passes around and over the edge of the lip F and returns so that its edge is within the groove as represented. When the boards are properly tongued and grooved and matched, as

shown in Fig. l, it will be observed that the' By veneering common cheap lumber in this manner with veneering of more costly woods very beautiful and inexpensive wainscoting and ceiling may be produced, adding much to the ornamentation of dwellings Whereitis desirable to dispense with plaster, or the more expensive covering of tile.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim therein ,as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is I The combination of tongued and grooved boards, each having one surface veneered, and each board having its groove of' sufficient width to receive the tongue of the contiguous board and two thicknesses of veneer, so that when said boards are joined together the edges of the veneers are concealed within the groove and protected from moisture and other atmospheric influences, and prevented from warping or separating from the boards, substantially as. herein described.
