and then I also made a quick little tray sugarbowl for the missus from a small piece of offcut from the nets ....
Some nets I completed over the last few months

Beautiful nets
Thanks guys - appreciate it. Some hard work went into getting that wild olive into usable pieces for the handles - must be honest!! Currently looking at building myself a small and cheap bandsaw mill like John Heisz has recently built on his YouTube channel.

Mario,
Talk to Craig at Forest Creations in Cape town to get timber cut.
He does it all.
Great work!

Thank Charles, but the 2000-odd km round trip would be a real killer
Thanks for the kind words - the one net was received this morning and the owner is elated. THAT is what makes making stuff really great - the emotion and joy when people find your work to be of a level they did not expect, or have not seen before.

This is true. That appreciative response gives you the lift to do more.
I have a pit saw that cuts like a bread knife but it needs some real "Beef cake" to drive it. You get a serious workout using it.
I am sure there is someone near you that is a tree reclaimer like Forest Creations..
I have a small dinky chainsaw that cuts Teak legs from a large block that we have.
Keep the nets coming!
