Cat Cut Hammock?

[Ramble On]

Hello all..

My wife was noting the other day that she would prefer a hammock that cradled her a bit better than most Rectangular cut hammocks do (yeah, she's delicate, LOL). Well these comments led me to wonder if anyone has made a cat cut hammock?

I was thinking that if the long sides were cut similar to a CatTarp, with inward curving parabola, and the ends were cut to an outward curving Parabola, then when the ends are gathered for whipping, the resulting hammock shape would make a natural pea-pod shape, rather than the flat down the center / saggy sides of alot of rectangular hammocks.

Any thoughts? I'd like some feedback from those with experience making Hammocks before I even think about making one myself (I am the worst seamster on the planet)

I tried with a curve on the ends on a homemade hammock I made. It tightened the sides some which was what I was shooting for. I don't know if it would cradle her more or less though. Try more sag. That will cause the hammock body to be a bit loser and hug around the body more maybe.

Why do we have to wait until Trail Days? Is it top secret?

Pan just wants to keep us in suspense...


Hmmmm......cat cut sides with a HH roll whip.....that would help with saggy sides and reduce weight a little bit....
