Cod Net

[asemery]

This net is based on cod nets once used in the Northwest US by Native Americans. Since I don't fish I will use it for storage of some sort. Tony

nice one might be useful for collecting and drying big fungi like birch polypore.

The wood is a fast growing weed tree (I believe sumac) that I debarked and bent without steaming.
The frame is 12" x 8". I made the net from linen twine, 20" deep. I got the idea from this Google (free) book.

go to table of contents - to "nets and netting" then to page 88. Tony

Thanks for that book link, I will have a read of that one. Nice net by the way. I am planning to make a small wooden framed trout net with a steamed ply handle & a handmade net, so your project has given me ideas.

Neumo, in the "Netmaking Projects" section of the "Nets and Net Making" forum there is a link to step by step directions (12 pages) for making a landing net frame. The rest of the forum discusses many other net related subjects. Tony

Great link to the Google books site. Lots of interesting information there. Worth a much longer look. Thanks a lot.
