got a question here

[unclemac]

So of course I know of cedar net floats. I have found my share, they are always oval and nearby Astoria, Oregon cranked them out by the thousands. But this one has me thinking, native made? First off it is round, the size of a baseball and obviously hand shaped, (the cut marks are all over it). Further, I pulled it out of the mud adjacent to where I have found adz formed wooden wedges. So my question is, is anyone familiar with this type?

 

[DizzyDigger]

That's a cool find. I have to wonder what tools were used in making it, as the
grooves don't seem to connect with one another.

 

[newnan man]

I think the grooves are tree rings.

 

[unclemac]

yes the rings go all the way around, indicating it was made from a branch of about 3+ inches in diameter.
