Making the Net A net (tawiri) has to be made for each hinaki. These are made of long pieces of flax about an inch in width. These strips are dipped into boiling water and are then scraped to soften them. The meshes of the tawiri are about an inch and a half in width. A ring of meshes about three feet in diameter is made, and ever-widening rings of meshes are added to this. The completed tawiri is about six or seven feet in length and about five feet in diameter at the wide end. Then a piece of supplejack is laced on to the wide end of the tawiri, and the small end is fastened on to the mouth of the hinaki. The other end of the hinaki is laced over with flax. Several long poles, about 30 of them alto-
gether, have to be sharpened and made ready. These will be used to peg down the hinakis.
