    I just got done with these two. The skinny one is a Meatbro from a template by @Metropolicity . I love the feel of this slingshot. It's unreal how it fits in your (my) hand. The first one I made had a flaw so I kept it and I love the way it shoots too. The chubby one is a Mini Pitbullaris. Both are have Curly Ambrosia Maple scales, 1/8" aluminum core, various colored spacers and brass pins. I used G-flex 655 to laminate them, sanded them to 9 microns and finished with a couple coats of Danish Oil.
    Thanks for looking! DSC08017.JPG DSC08018.JPG DSC08019.JPG DSC08021.JPG DSC08022.JPG DSC08023.JPG DSC08024.JPG

      I totally understand. Same with my slings. My simple ones are 20 minutes each, but the braided ones take up to 2 hours each.

      Very harmonious, pins look very clean. Looks like a snake's tail on the big one. That wood is gorgeous and you accented it just right......

      great looking work my friend ! I especially like the positioning of the spike of spate in the one on the meatbro. Both are great looking, I like the tall thin gal not the short fat one! ;)
