    Quizzical Pursuit
    —The Architecture Puzzler

    Created by Dave Guadagni

    Solution to Last Week's Puzzler
    Architecture Puzzler #142

    Question

    Which kind of tradesmen might use the following terms? fleuri-cut, lewis-holes, broach, and lipping.

    Answer

    This is the jargon of stonework. Fleuri-cut refers to cutting stone parallel to the natural bedding plane. Lewis-holes are holes cut in stone for lifting. Broach means to remove material between drilled holes; it is also a type of mason's chisel. Lipping is warped or twisting paving with edges that don’t align.
