The runners are best made of white ash, from half-inch material, 2-3/4" wide and 42" long. ([Plate 56].)
The front end of the runners is tapered, starting about five inches from the end. The extreme tips are blunt, being 1/2" wide.

Starting about twelve inches from the front end, the runners are thinned down with a plane, on the upper surface, to 3/8" thick.
Both runners have a groove cut along their counters from the rear end to the point where they curve upward.
