the makuk is to be dark in color with light-colored leaves the surface 
within the etching of the leaves is carefully removed. If the colors 
are to be reversed it is necessary to remove all the surface except that 
within the etching. As indicated, if the makuk is to be filled with 
fresh sugar it is finished at the camp, but if the article is to be for 
some general purpose, the woman does the part of the work which 
must be done while the bark is fresh and takes the article with her, 
to finish at leisure. The completion can not, however, be deferred 
too long or the dark surface of bark can not be removed with 
neatness.
