Made a Red Army frame from Jim Harris's natural
Will be driving to Kovel/Ukraine this weekend, about time. Have been married four years in a month and haven't met my mother/father in law as they live in Ukraine and it is very hard to get a visa for Germany for the guys.
So what to bring? Sure - a slingshot. My father in law served in the Red Army many years ago, so it had to be a RED one.
I took the natural fork Jim Harris gave me at the ECST, a big one (I love those as you can freely carve the shape).
A higher fork again (beginner dimensions), and since my wife says we have the same hand size I did add finger grooves.
It is amazing how well the inking method works, every time. I will be putting on a few layers of polyurethane and then make a presentation box, like the one I made for my boss.
Neat! Will make a very nice gift to your in-law!
