Natural Alder ErgoThis has been sitting on my workbench for quite a while and I finally had time to finish it. I think I showed some of the early pictures before but I'll show them again so everyone can see how this thing started. It was a chunky piece of red alder with twisty grain. [img] I think this was the last picture that I posted and how it looked for a few months before I was able to get back to working on it. [img] I...

My attempt to make a ConusSome time ago I commented that I took a couple of small cuts of black guayacan (lignum vitae) and asked for suggestions on what to do with them. One of them was to make a Conus. That seemed an interesting project. Thanks to Alvaro for sharing the template. Use one of the cuts of guayacan, scraps of ciricote wood and yellow fiberglass spacer. It's not perfect but I put my best effort. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

Mahogany MuleHere's one I just finished up. It's made from Mahogany and has a copper lanyard tubing. Since it's a board cut I wanted a design with lower forks, to reduce torque and left it at 3/4 inch thick. I tested it in a vice and she's very strong. Sanded to 400 and finished in BLO [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Natural Slingshot In Acacia Wood "Cross Bone"Hello Slingshot Community friends!!! Here's my latest natural frame, already completed and ready to be sent on a trade. Carved out from a very matured acacia tree fork (Acacia dealbata), it was finished with linseed oil and natural beeswax. The bands are my customary taper for 5 grams glass marbles, but were only placed for testing this weekend. After that, they will fly unbanded to its new owner. The shape, form and colour of this slingshot reminds me of bones, hence the name "Cross...

MoneyshotHey guys! So, a few months back I was pouring some resin and let some harden too quick on me before I got to embed what I originally wanted to put into it in it. Being one to not waste resin, I dropped a dollar bill on there and poured more resin over the top. Long story short, the Moneyshot was born. This sling was named by @JTslinger and was traded to the man himself at SEST this year. Was a fun little shooter to build. Thanks for looking![ATTACH]...

The HulkHere is a commissioned piece I just finished up. The frame shape is that of the O-Rey by Metro Grade. (If fact that was what I traded for). It’s made from g10 and VooDoo resin. The triple layer inlayed logo plate was tedious to get just right. All in all I’m very happy with the...

The larger is made of golden rain tree and comes with a little blue stain thanks to a beetle that vectors the fungus that causes it. The smaller from Japanese Pagoda tree. Tru oil finish. No template, rhime or reason. Just went at it and had some good clean...

Here's my first attempt at laminating a Ali core and adding stainless steel pins n lanyard tube. What a pain to sand pins level with the wood, a lot was learned and a lot more time was spent. Scaled in a natural fork of Zelcova serrata. Finished in satin wipe on poly n beeswax. Set up with...
