c. Fish mouth<br />

Fish mouths, set up between two horiz<strong>on</strong>tal<br />

framework culms to support the whole, are <strong>of</strong>ten<br />

seen in ten<strong>on</strong>ing.<br />

Liner heads, functi<strong>on</strong>ing as fish mouth,<br />

must save the nodes and partiti<strong>on</strong>s. Make the<br />

head V-form by using the handsaw without<br />

damaging the partiti<strong>on</strong>s. Cut and pare into an<br />

arc c<strong>on</strong>cave, like a mouth fish, and make the<br />

head stick tightly to the arc <strong>of</strong> framework culm Figure 3.46 Fish Mouth<br />

(Figure 3. 46). Generally, the fish mouth upwardly holds the framework culm.<br />

d. Level infixing ten<strong>on</strong><br />

Level infixing ten<strong>on</strong> needs no processing <strong>of</strong> liner heads. Liner heads can be level <strong>on</strong><br />

<strong>on</strong>e end or two. If <strong>on</strong>ly <strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong>e end, the other end is fish mouth. Make two holes <strong>on</strong><br />

the infixing positi<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> the framework culm by using a hand drill, then cut and pare<br />

them to the holes whose diameter equals the liner head's diameter.<br />

The assembling <strong>of</strong> level infixing ten<strong>on</strong><br />

heads: to infix <strong>on</strong>e end and then pull the other<br />

culm away to make the other level head infixed<br />

into the ten<strong>on</strong> mouth. If it is a single level, insert<br />

<strong>on</strong>e end and pull the other end to the proper<br />

positi<strong>on</strong> al<strong>on</strong>g the last culm's directi<strong>on</strong>. Make<br />

the upward fish mouth lean tightly against the<br />

culm wall and the bottom into the ten<strong>on</strong>, tightly<br />

against the inner wall as well. Fasten the drilling<br />

holes by using bamboo nails to complete the<br />
