Net Making - Continued from page 1

Pet Patrol

The net Mr. Wentzell is working on is being made out cotton thread and the weaving tools

are made of bamboo. The cotton net will last about 4 years if you take care of it. Alan

is an original member of the Crystal River Boat Builders Club which meets at the State

Park property at the end of State Park Drive north of Crystal River every Wednesday and

Saturday from 9 to 12 and is open to any one with interest in boat making with primitive

tools. If you are just an observer still stop and see this group with a new project soon.
