Description

Birch veneer swallowtail template (three tails) for a 9" oval box nailed to a white pine backer board. A sheet metal three-tail template is sandwiched between the backer and the veneer at opposite end but does not extend beyond veneer and thus is non functional. A white pine fence is nailed to the backer board. No tack hole locations.

Notes

Used to lay out swallowtail shapes on oval box bands.
