The front section closer to the chuck(ribs 6 to 9) is larger all around but contains a smaller eye, a large proportion of the less desirable adjoining blade muscles, and more fat. To make carving easier, be sure the chine bones(vertebrae), feather bones(sticking up from the spine), and the back strap(lengthwise tough, yellow ligament) have been removed. When choosing rib-eye steaks, look for the ones with the largest eye and least outside fat and "tail. " 1, record 1, English, - back%20strap

Carving tools. All tribes used some combination of chisels, crooked knives, adzes, wedges and mauls.... The most common adze type was the elbow adze used in the north and central regions [of the Northwest Pacific Coast]. The "elbow" in elbow adze refers to the crook of the haft and not its action in use.... The length and heft of the haft of an elbow adze determined the size of the blade and therefore the size of the chip.... A shaping elbow adze was used for the initial roughing and hollowing of the work. A finishing of surfacing elbow adze had the haft cut away so that the blade springs on impact, popping out the chip. 2, record 2, English, - elbow%20adze
