An entirely new approach to naking it square and cut to the right angle is now available in the new woodworking tool called the "Squangle." The manufacturer says that this is a carpenter's tool that will save considerable time on the job and at the same time assure the craftsman that he has an accurate nrarking of degree or pitch in the cutting of rafters, setting of window and door still degree settings or just plain squaring lumber.

Squangle is a nretal T- or L-shaped carpenter's square of a new type, made of aluminur.l that has been precisioned to an exact tolerance to do a skilled job for the man. The unit is compact with a "blade" 12 inches long and arms 8l inches long, yet it will perform the functions of two other larger types of squares. Squangle has two ,built-in level bubbles which make it virtually trvo squares and two levels in one handy, lightweight tool.

The Squangle is manufactured in Lyn- wood, Washington by the Squangle Corp. and is distributed through retail dealers.

A new and versatile wood paneling appropriate for indoor and outdoor installation in a wide variety of designs has been introduced by Kaibab Lumber Co. of Flagstaff, Arizona. The new product, Shadowall, takes its name from the interesting light-andshadow effects obtained through the use of board and batts in the installation. Shadowall may be installed with the batts placed outside of the boards or with the rboards placed outside of the batts, according to preference.

A convenient, cost-cutting feature of the new product, according to Kaibab president, Milton Whiting, is that Shadowall is cut and packaged at the mill to fit the requirements of a particular installation. Available lengths range from 6 feet to 16 feet, widths from 6 to 12 inches. The required number of 3-inch batts is also included in each package. Such pre-cutting and packaging reduce waste and installation costs as well as time. Whiting pointed out.

Shadowall is made from high-quality, wellseasoned Ponderosa Pine, Spruce and White Fir, rough sawn. It may be finished in a wide variety of stains or in colors to meet contemporary decorating trends. Maintenance is far less than that required for other interior wall materials, it is claimed.
