What's your guess...

I am working on another "natural" version from one of my designs. I finished the raw cutting job this morning, lots of work ahead still - but you can see the slingshot emerging.

So what do you think:

a) What is this slingshot made from? Hint: It once was a natural fork, and NOT catwood...
b) What is the name of the design? Hint: NOT the palm cannon.

    Hi Joerg,

    I came across your YouTube channel when searching for information about slingshots.

    Without realizing it, I spent over 2 hours watching your videos and trying to figure out which slingshot type would be the best for me to buy.

    Now, based on what you've shown in your videos, it looks like your designs are the best, as you have an obvious passion for slingshots and impressive design/engineering abilities.

    I always wanted to have a slingshot when I was a young boy, but never got one (either no money or parents said it was too dangerous for me). Now that I'm an adult, I guess I want to make up for that!

    Thanks for your great enthusiasm and true passion for what you do.

    Prosit!

    PS. I think the answers are:

    a)Dogwood - your hint was friendly :)
    b)Hand Howitzer

    A) Dogwood and B) Hand Howitzer?
    Not an original guess but maybe right.
    Did you use a band saw to cut out the shape?

    Its made from dogwood, and designed after the panther. It would be nice to see some templates for wood slingshots.

    "Tell me Padre, when i was kickin you @$$ back there did you get wood, come on, a little teak, a little mahogany." Name the movie ill give you a cookie. That is the coolest natural iv ever seen.Im not sure what the wood is but Id say that is a hand howitzer.

    Is it maybe dogwood? And the design is a variation of the panther or hand howitzer, not sure, but those are my guesses.....
