Natural Dogwood Howitzer: Done.

Finished it yesterday, came out very good. It is amazing how strong that dogwood is. Even the hooks ("triggers") are solid, solid, solid.

BTW, this was the fork I made it from:



Also, I bought two more breakfast boards made from olive wood. Should be enough for at least four shooters. I love the grain, the smell and the texture of that wood.

    Very nice shape. Quite Venusian. I've not heard of "breakfast board," but I like the Idea. The olive wood looks nice.

    Wow, very impressing! It must have taken a long time to make this slingshot from that big fork. But it looks beautiful. I also like the idea of using breakfast boards :)

    What are 'breakfast boards' and how did you get your camera to elongate the handles in one photo? It's obvious by the background that the photo is elongated up and down in two photos and gives an unususal appearance to the forks and your pliers. The forks are very well done and impressive in appearance. That had to be a lot of rasping and filing even after cutting out the rough shape.

    Beautiful work, they almost are too pretty to use but the fun to be had with them is too much to resist. Keep up the awesome work. You are the new age "Dennis the Menace".

    I think I found a bug in blogger, replaced the pics with correct ones. Sorry for that.
