Loam-board.
（Founding.) Cores which are struck up upon a spindle or barrel are supplied with loam from a board placed across the trestles on which the barrel revolves, which is hence called a loamboard. This is cut to the shape of the core. It is also used after the latter is dry, as a rest on which to place the tool (a very broad chisel with a short handle at each end) used to turn it down to the exact size and shape, before black-washing.
