    This here's a looooong overdue (as usual) shooter for Mr Pult421,

    basically chopped from a real old Beech that I've used for a few shooters and various fork gifts... I promised him a ttf shooter in beech, as as I've never tackled one, I wanted to do something neat,,since I had some flipclips kickin around I decided to give it a go.... I should have made the grooves deeper to fit flush with the clips, but it works well regardless... the shape is kinda normy, but I wanted to have a big plateau around the grip area, and I was kinda inspired to carve it in a loose visage of Pult's own Hyrule Hustler, with a pinchier grip.., it came out how it came out, and it wouldn't be my personal go-to shooter but l'm pretty tmp_24374-20170423_1253532063283800.jpg happy with my work here.. again, ,finished in my own blend... no wax, no polish... no buffing. and I'm sure he'll appreciate the name.. tmp_24374-20170402_030509-783140136.jpg tmp_24374-20170423_125530-1233442951.jpg tmp_24374-20170423_125500-1977340985.jpg tmp_24374-20170423_125438630768233.jpg tmp_24374-20170423_130815-940067809.jpg tmp_24374-20170423_130759-1441374793.jpg

      Sweet, that wouldn't be suitable for a beginner but a seasoned ttf shooter would have no worries. Good work pal.

      That thing is simply radical. I dont know much, but it's pretty radical.

      Beautiful & compact, That fork says a lot about your skills and also says a lot about what you think about Mr Pult421 skills ;)

      yeah, you guys are right, and I didn't really consider the shallow fork gap until you mentioned it... well,,,,, I can Ttf flat top so I'm sure he'll get by, you dont get to be an awesome builder like him without some shooting skills in the bank as well...

      It is a beautiful slingshot. The grain of the wood is astonishing. Without wax or polish? Must have sanded for many hour

      well, it does have a finish., but I spent no time buffing or polishing afterward... jist sanded to 600, probably spent three hours in total aside from the epoxy...
