strickle

Maggie was still staring at us and a steady strickle of sweat ran down my back.

The bell pattern is then cut out in two wooden templates called "strickle boards".

After the final layer had been applied the profile of the piece was checked with a template called a strickle.

Finally the model was covered with a layer of molten wax and again smoothed by the strickle.

The outside of the mould was formed to a pattern (checked by a template similar to the strickle mentioned above), so that standard reinforcing staves and hoops could be fitted.

Normally, a level or struck measure is assumed, with the excess being swept off level ("struck") with the measure's brim-the stick used for this is called a "strickle".
