          Appeal No. 1997-2981                                                        
          Application No. 08/161,304                                                  

          certain practices are known in the lumber industry.  However,               
          we find no suggestion in either Idelsohn or Pryor for                       
          providing a “further shaped part” from the utilization of the               
          determined contour of the first shaped part, as claimed.   The              
          examiner has failed to particularly point out how each and                  
          every claimed element is met by the applied references.                     
               We have sustained the rejection of claims 39 and 46 under              
          both 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) and § 102(e) but we have not sustained              
          the rejection of claims 41 through 45 and 47 through 50 under               
          either 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) or § 102(e).  Accordingly, the                    
          examiner’s decision is affirmed-in-part.                                    





               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under                           
          37 CFR § 1.136(a).                                                          
                                  AFFIRMED-IN-PART                                    






                                          8
