Ask the Old Fanner: I have found Roman
numerals carved into both an antique bed
and a porch railing What was the signifi
cance, if any, of this practice 7 DEW, Kezar

Such Roman numerals on old lumber are the
check marks made by the lumber-gauger Usual
ly they were cut into the wood with a sharp tool
and refer to the footage in the plank or ;oist
