- Description
- A splint representing a portion of an annual ring, and the full thickness of the ring. It was taken from a log bought from the Potawatomi chief. It has been trimmed on both edges and smoothed on both sides with a pocket knife. It is said to be unusually thin and when split once would make a good splint for delicate work. A splint of this kind was called a "grain." Obtained from Mrs and Mr. Sturgeon (from Volney Jones' 1933 field notes, Field no. 103).
