Image Caption: Caption
1: Chipping a streak on a face. Demonstrating the use of the hack. A streak is
usually chipped once a week from March to November. Usually 1/4-inch to 5/8-inch
of wood is removed up the tree and 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch deep. A series of these
streaks chipped one above the other is called a face. The face shown is the result
of nearly one season's chipping. It is the first year of work and is therefore
called a virgin face.
Caption 2: Putting on first streak, 2nd yrs. work.
