Looks nice. Are you going to put a ridgeline on it?

The first one you make is kind of special. Isn't it?

Nothing beats hanging in 'your' hammock.

Nice looking hammock. I'm a DIY kind of person and wondering if I can pull this off. Guess I will just have to give it a try. The wife might have issues with me starting a new "hobby" but I need something to do when I'm not messing with the motorcycles or the homebrew stuff. Right?

Nicely done. I'm always impressed when people have the courage to use a contrasting thread color on their first project.

That's really nice. Great job!

I plan on it. I still need to figure out exactly how long I want the ridgeline to be as the hammock is around 10'10" and not a length I am used to.

yeah there are definitely spots where I wasn't straight with the sewing and is more noticeable because of the color. (didn't post pictures of course)
