It is there should it ever be needed. Funny how Mother Nature does things. :)Tosh Togohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14547061122191881183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708231852435656503.post-18308103832072040232011-10-02T19:55:04.776+02:002011-10-02T19:55:04.776+02:00Actually for me the 'Gothic' part isn'...Actually for me the 'Gothic' part isn't lost in your design, the dark purple core with the lighter olive wood scales is reminiscent of a cameo locket, the curves you have shaped into the weapon, as well as the needle point of the handle itself make it a piece that seems to speak of deep buried passion underneath the grip of seeming innocence with a lethality that is readily evident even before the weapon is made ready to fire; a very 'old school' sensuous look that doesn't require black. Mayhaps a couple of choice bits of metal hardware but even then that might be gilding the lily, so to speak.Slingshot Wraithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156599295790176042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708231852435656503.post-14335703675759879392011-10-02T19:44:04.988+02:002011-10-02T19:44:04.988+02:00looks very nice but aren't you worried about t...looks very nice but aren't you worried about the thin handle near the fork?PHIL-ROKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08330457298854597844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708231852435656503.post-6641596662852110042011-10-02T19:39:09.766+02:002011-10-02T19:39:09.766+02:00The "Da Vinci" idea has been offered to ...The "Da Vinci" idea has been offered to a German TV show by the guys from Tapefilm. No decision yet. I'd love to find a TV show that coughs up the expense, as this will be a 3 to 5 k (Euros) project. <br /><br />I agree, the Gothic aspect is lost, but the knotty appearance fits so well together with the curvy olive wood.The Slingshot Channelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117380466873778722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708231852435656503.post-52596820811403080642011-10-02T19:07:23.031+02:002011-10-02T19:07:23.031+02:00Hmmm... a slingshot that doubles in hand to hand ...Hmmm... a slingshot that doubles in hand to hand combat... i like itJord the Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491813197019007123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708231852435656503.post-22732041091172519772011-10-02T19:04:27.056+02:002011-10-02T19:04:27.056+02:00looks beautiful...looks beautiful...Horstelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127431671999697694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708231852435656503.post-10541219734338255342011-10-02T19:03:34.714+02:002011-10-02T19:03:34.714+02:00Sorry the ordered wood was such a disappointment a...Sorry the ordered wood was such a disappointment as I really wanted to see a Gothic dark sling-shot. The 'female' form of this is unique and interesting, but unless you intend to dye this a darker shade, in my mind, it loses some of it's Gothic aspect. Nevertheless, holding such a curveous 'body' in my hand interests me. :) BTW, how goes the work for the Da Venci crossbow? Could you give us an update? All the best to you and yours.Tosh Togohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14547061122191881183noreply@blogger.com
