    With all due respect to José Muciño (Resorteronte Chepo), I made a slingshot based on one of his most classic designs. With a bit of my style on the knob finish.
    It is made of natural tree fork of the same genus as the osage orange.
    Needless to say, this one remains in my collection.

      The wood was a wonderful find!
      The design inspiration was a gift.
      The result is truly elegant.
      And a keeper, of course!
      Thanks for posting!

      Thank you all very much for taking the time to comment.
      Certainly the color of the heartwood and grain of this wood are very attractive, but it is also true that the curves of this design highlight the lines.

      Cruiser. Don't consider branding it. In fact, since I already applied oil to it and that makes it difficult to pyrograph it

      I for one of probably MANY, would LOVE to see your personal collection of self built frames [mention]Fidencio León Burgos [/mention] as I’m sure you’ve got some stunners.

      Darrell.

      [mention]Fidencio León Burgos [/mention] Did you ever get around to posting your personal frames / collection or did I totally miss that ?

      I’m sure we’d ALL like to see those [emoji1690][emoji16][emoji631]
