Start of a mulberry and cherry landing net

(1/2) > >>

Mo_coon-catcher:
Felt like sharing a new project I started. I wanted a larger landing net and figured I’d try my hand at making one. I still have more work to go before it’s ready for the net. But the hoop is 1/2” thick by 1” deep mulberry. It’s two halves that are 6 foot long and bent into shape shape with just a heat gun for dry heat. A couple pin knots decided to crack a little but doesn’t seem to effect much when flexed. But I’ll fill and wrap those when done. I also left these slats rough cut instead to smoothing them over so I can see what mulberry can handle strain wise. So if you’re hesitant about using dry heat to adjust a bow, it can do hire a bit if you take your time and heat up slowly. Next step is to cut a piece for the yoke area and glue it all up.

I’ll update as I go

That’s gonna be great kyle. What you going to use for a net, knot one up or can you buy them?

Mo_coon-catcher:
I decided to go the route of making my own net too. Just for the experience at this point. I already had the needles from a different project. After the pain in the buttery of getting the starting looks. It really hasn’t been too bad for a rainy day project
