Translation Of Citations From Vanstone (1982) Article

« Pour faire un filet de ce genre, une aiguille à filet en bois a été utilisée. L’unique échantillon dans la collection de Speck est plat, pointu à une extrémité et concave à l’autre; il est fait de bois de bouleau. Une portion du centre a été enlevée, laissant un pic en bois semblable à une aiguille se prolongeant du centre de l’aiguille presque jusqu’à la pointe. Un morceau de ficelle à filet est attaché (fig. 3e). »

« In making a net of this type, a wooden netting needle was used. The single specimen in the Speck collection is flat, pointed at one end, and concave at the other; it is made of birch wood. A portion of the center has been removed, leaving a needle-like spike of wood extending from the center of the needle almost to the tip. A section of netting twine is attached (fig. 3e). »
