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.
