ice in paneling.

A rabbet is formed to receive the edge of the panel, and a molding is
then secured to the other side on the panel, to hold the latter in
place.

SCARFING.--This method of securing members together is the most rigid,
and when properly performed makes the joint the strongest part of the
timber. Each member (A, Fig. 212) has a step diagonally cut (B), the two
steps being on different planes, so they form a hook joint, as at C, and
as each point or terminal has a blunt end, the members are so
constructed as to withstand a longitudinal strain in either direction.
The overlapping plates (D) and the bolts (E) hold the joint rigidly.

THE TONGUE AND GROOVE.--This form of uniting members has only a limited
application. It is serviceable for floors, table tops, paneling, etc.
In Fig. 213, a door panel is shown, and the door mullions (B) are also
so secured to the rail (C). The tongue-and-groove method is never used
by itself. It must always have some support or reinforcing means.

BEADING.--This part of the work pertains to surface finishings, and may
or may not be used in connection with rabbeting.

Figs. 214 and 215 show the simplest and most generally adopted forms in
which it is made and used in connection with rabbeting, or with the
tongue and groove. The bead is placed on one or both sides of that
margin of the board (Fig. 214) which has the tongue, and the adjoining
board has the usual flooring groove to butt against and receive the
tongue. It is frequently the case that a blind bead, as in Fig. 215,
runs through the middle of the board, so as to give the appearance of
narrow strips when used for wainscoting, or for ceilings. The beads also
serve to hide the joints of the boards.

ORNAMENTAL BEAD FINISH.--These figures show how the bead may be used for
finishing corners, edges and projections. Fig. 216 has a bead at each
corner of a stile (A), and a finishing strip of half-round material (B)
is nailed to the flat edge. Fig. 217 has simply the corners themselves
beaded, and it makes a most serviceable finish for the edges of
projecting members.

Fig. 218, used for wider members, has the corners beaded and a fancy
molding (C); or the reduced edge of the stile
