Natural Demon Hunter

One more frame from the Dogwood tree...

I came to love the Demon Hunter design, it is so sensual and ergonomic.

I just had to make a natural version! It was quite some work... as always, a big clumsy fork, and a delicate result. See for yourself.

  1. Since it near to the Halloween season, I would suggest you rent a cape and old-fashioned black tuxedo to show off your demon hunter in a video. Shoot also by torch or candle light and ask your lovely wife to don the zombie mask again. You could shoot the wooden stake right along with the 'Gothic' slingshots. This type of 'presentation/entertainment' would go over hugely with your fan base and remind them again this is really 'just for the fun of it'.

    something like that?

  11. I like the knobby design of this slingshot but as allways with your designs the forks are too flat for me.

    As Itamar said, your finish is really awesome!

  12. Itamar, the dogwood and the olive wood both are very dense and polish well.

    I use 1000 grit sandpaper, then car chrome polish paste, then a jewelery poslishing rag (normally used for silver).

  14. How does mone carry those things? Is there a special demon hunter holster?

  15. It looks like the grain runs out across the fork. How strong is that? I'm guessing since it's a fork there's enough grain running up and down for strength?

  16. @JustBob57: When you hunt demons, you never ever holster your weapons :)

    The fork is very strong indeed.

  17. after watching all the videos for a couple of months now, I've finally made the trip the your blog and I'm amazed. The quality of the hand made slingshots is awe inspiring. It makes me want to find a nice fork and see what I could do. Keep up the great work!

  19. Did you find this piece of wood, or did you buy it? The outcome looks really nice and makes the time spent on making this slingshot definatly worth it.
