and | four finger-widths long. | This is the size of the large feasting- 
dish when a feast is given to many tribes. || When the sides have been 
chopped, itis | in this way: | Then he puts it right-side 
up and chops out the inside, 30 that it is hollow. | The 
bark is still on that part that will be the inner side. 
Now he chops it off; and | he onty stops chopping it when it is two 
finger-widths || thick all around and at both ends. Then he carries 
it | home on his shoulder, and he puts it down in his house, | takes 
his adz, and adzes the bottom so that it is level. | When this is 
done, he adzes the outside. It | is adzed well. Then he also adzes 
the ends well |] on the outside; and when this is done, he adzes along 
the sides | so as to make them thin. He just feels the thickness. | 
After this has been done, he takes his small crooked knife and | 
scoops out two grooves on the outer side. When this is done, he | 
takes spawn of the dog-salmon, chews it, and spits it into || his paint- 
dish. He takes coal and rubs it in| the place where is the salmon- 
spawn that has been spit out. When it is really | black, he takes his 
paimt-brush, dips the end of the | paint-brush 
into the black color, and paints all around | 
the rim of the dish, in this way: When this 
is done, || he puts it away, so that it dries. Then 
it is done. |
