Summary: | rind v In the spring of the year, the men go into the woods to rine the trees . . . . The bark is removed from the tree with an axe in six or seven foot lengths. The width would depend on the diameter of the tree being rined. This is dried out by placing it flat on the floor of the flake, store, or stage and covered with rocks to weight it down. In the summer, it is used to protect the drying fish from the rain. That is, the fish are piled in a circle with the head portion at the outside of the circle and then wired clapboard fashion with the rine and held in place with rocks.
