The willow and hazel to construct the frame was harvested a while back from the levels which back the Severn estuary. The frame will be covered with Calico and painted with pitch. Hopefully when complete it will be put to use on our rivers and estuary. Bass fishing from a coracle perhaps !! !! www.blackrocklavenets.co.uk | Black rock lave net heritage fishery | Facebook
