FRONT VIEW.
Balustrade.—Model the capping as described for cornices, with the exception, this will be worked upon both faces.
Blocking.—To a cornice. This, if large, is best constructed by being boxed out. If small in size, cut them out of the solid.
Bracket.—Brackets in Gothic work are to be constructed in layers, in a similar manner as described for cornices; other brackets may be cut from the solid paper, first by making a pattern, or template, in thin tea lead, or sheet copper, and marking round the edge upon the paper, uniformity of size being thus ensured.
C.
Cornices.—The construction of cornices is fully described in that of the House, illustrated, and also under the head of Arch, where a cornice is described as illustrating the formation of moulded arches.
Coins, or Quoins; see those described for House, page [64], ante; also Ashlar-work.
Coping.—If the coping be small scale, cut from the solid by the adjusting straight-edge; otherwise they are better boxed out.
Cresting.—Proceed in much the same manner as described for barge boards; use a template to save trouble in pencilling out, and cut with knife No. 3; three thicknesses are ample for eighth scale work.
Cusps.—See description of Tracery; window-cusps being circular work, No. 3 knife must be used.
