Sometimes...




... it happens: While you are making a new slingshot, at some point in the process you realize you hit GOLD.

You finish the frame like in a fever dream, as you can not wait to see it buffed up and finished.

This happened today: My new one came out beautiful.

Alumimum core, sawed out of a massive 6mm board, and Thuja wood.

It is beautiful. Smooth. Feels great in the hand.

Of course it is a variation of the Hand Howitzer, minus the "teeth" (that I don't need as I only shoot hammer style).

I think the spike (just blunt enough to not nick the rubber) is a very nice detail. The aluminum allows me to go fairly thin without risking breakage.

This is ALMOST to gorgeous to be shot!

Hope you like it.
