« 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). » Vanstone, James W. "The Speck Collection of Montagnais Material Culture from the Lower St. Lawrence Drainage, Quebec." Fieldiana. Anthropology. New Series, No. 5 (October 29, 1982), p.7, fig 3e (p.31).
