1754 M. Murray Shipbuilding in Falconer Dict. Marine (1780) at Bevelling But if the timber is not hewed square..[and] if a square be applied to it, there will be wood wanting either at the upper or lower side... When the wood is deficient at the under-side, it is called under-bevelling; and when it is deficient in the upper side, it is called standing-bevelling.
