Net builder

It's net building time and Jacob is eager to help. First he tossed the corks from Korea out of the box,  then helped string and slide the corks down the long long long  line. He is the 4th generation to build a net in that spot, but the material they work with is very different....the corks are now made from oil instead of the bark of a certain tree, and the lines are also from oil instead of the hemp or cotton they used at one time. So much of what we use and take for granted is from oil. My hope is that we can do more with renewable material and save the oil for things that can only be done with oil.
