38 runs outward: | therefore the first one that is split off is thick. | 
As soon as it has been split, he carries the boards out as he is going 
40 home; || and when he has carried them all out, he takes his adz | 
and adzes them smooth. When he has finished | one side, he turns 
them over and adzes the other side also; so that they all have the 
same | thickness. When they are half a finger-width thick, | they 
45 are done, and he puts them on edge. Then he adzes down || one 
edge to make it straight; and after that has been done, he puts them 
down flat, | takes a piece of cedar-stick and splits it so that it is 
thin, and | he takes his straight knife and cuts off the end so that | it 
is square at the end. He measures one span | and a short span, 
50 beginning at the end that he cut off, || and there he cuts it off. He 
uses this as a measure for the width | of the box that he is making. 
He puts it down and takes his | straight knife, and again puts on 
edge the board out of which | he is making the box. Then he shaves 
off the edge smooth, so that it is very | straight and smooth; and 
55 when it is really || straight, he puts it down flat. Then he takes his | 
cedar-stick measure and puts it down on one end of the box | that 
he is making. The end of the measure is flush with the | straight 
edge that he has shaved off. He marks with his knife | the other end
