This hammock is a design that goes back to the days of whaling, wooden ships, iron crewmen and cooper's who were responsible for getting all that blubber back to home port.This hammock is a modern take off on a much older design type.The cordage has been updated to the new,nearly indestructible synthetics.
I consider this design to be the best hammock in my line to utilize Industrial Gleaning.
The spreader bar components are the reuse of wine barrel wood staves from spent cooperage,just like the original whalerman hammock. This material is White Oak from wine barrels that have had the tannin soaked out into the vintage. As a wine making wood, its days are done; as a hammock spreader, a new career for this exceptional wood is just getting started.This is using the forest twice,the first time, as cooperage,6-8 years service and the second time as a hammock, 60-90+years expected service life.This is "Industrial Gleaning" meeting it's ultimate objectives.

BIG! BIG! BIG! NOTE:The very
large/huge ,antique-OLD! brass/bronze rings are actual commercial fishing purse seine rings.
The brass ring I incorporate into this unit are
between 50 to 80 years old. They ARE the REAL thing;Truly a piece of maritime history, the heirloom
component that makes each Cooper’s Cot a collectible piece that will
show antique value at the very begining of its service life.These rings are large, heavy duty artifacts with a very interesting story to tell and they look sooo Daaammmn cool.When they are gone(?)this model will be out of production/Fini.Don't wait too long and miss out.I expect to complete this model production run before the end of 2008
NOTE:
This hammock is my most developed marlinespike craft effort.The level of Design Evolution and Art Detailing makes this the premier limited edition hammock in my line and this is a very good price for a hammock that will last you a longer life time.There is NOTHING else like this hammock unless someone steals my design(pat. pend.),and if that happens it will just go to show how good a design concept it really is.The current artistic detailing is not on this site yet,if you want to see the latest version contact me and I will send you some images of the newest crafting innovations .
