Anordinary ax is used for this purpose. From the peak of the boxa slanting cut one inch deep is made upward until its outer edgeis directly above the outer edge of the box. A side blow thensplits out the wood between the cut and the outer edge of the object of cornering is to provide a suitable face for the com-mencement of the subsequent scarification of the tree. Two men can cut 2000 faces per day. The contract priceranges between $ and $ per thousand Fig. 129. — A Turpentine Box for the collection of Crude Turpentine. Chipping. — In tapping a tree very little resin is actuallysecured from the resin ducts already in the wood.
