Took on a huge undertaking for the museum and archives of Rockingham co.N.C.In three weekends twelve people including myself,my wife and museum curator tied total of 200 ft. of poplar bark cordage.Then on the last day we tied a net seven ft. long and five ft. wide with seven soapstone sinkers including one my wife carved into a turtle effigy.

Thanks Mullet.I was going to use dogbane Ben but before I could get to it they had bush hogged it so I had to go back to the woods and found three poplar trees where the bark retted I was lucky.
