Phoenix Variations
Have made two entirely different "Phoenix" models today. Phew! That was a lot of dirty work.
First one is a laminate of four 3mm Cocobolo veneer and three 3mm copper plates. A heavy, nice shooter that needs some more finishing - but for today it is enough.
The second one is probably the most beautiful Phoenix I ever made. 9mm birch multiplex core, then Thuja scales. The Thuja is too brittle for a sleek slingshot, but laminated to the multiplex it is rock solid. I just love this slingshot am I am totally proud.
Can't wait for the rain to stop so I can shoot the new babies!
