There are two kinds of adze used for building canoe: koi kupa, an adze for digging out the inside, and any other rough work; and koi wili,170 a reversible adze, an adze used for finishing off. The koi kupa171 is used for digging out the inside and hewing the rough of the outside [of the canoe] when it is thick; and when it is thinned then the koi wili would be used to finish off. The koi wili could be used in hewing at wide and narrow places.
