Irregular Seats.—The usual or standard shape of chair seat is like the one illustrated in the drawing, [Fig. 47]. The front rail is longer than the back, and the side rails are equal in length. Seats of this shape are rather difficult to weave because special treatment is necessary to fill up portions of certain rails.

With reference made to the drawing, the method employed in locating lines for rushing, and for rushing such a seat is this: With the beam of a square laid against rail 4 with its corner against the cap at corner A, scribe a pencil line across rail 2. Similarly, mark the same rail using the square against rail 4 at corner D. Stated in other words, these lines may be obtained by determining the difference in length between the front and back rails, and laying off one-half this difference from each corner on the front rail. This distance is indicated by the brackets in the drawing.
