Since it near to the Halloween season, I would suggest you rent a cape and old-fashioned black tuxedo to show off your demon hunter in a video. Shoot also by torch or candle light and ask your lovely wife to don the zombie mask again. You could shoot the wooden stake right along with the 'Gothic' slingshots. This type of 'presentation/entertainment' would go over hugely with your fan base and remind them again this is really 'just for the fun of it'.
It looks like the grain runs out across the fork. How strong is that? I'm guessing since it's a fork there's enough grain running up and down for strength?
after watching all the videos for a couple of months now, I've finally made the trip the your blog and I'm amazed. The quality of the hand made slingshots is awe inspiring. It makes me want to find a nice fork and see what I could do. Keep up the great work!
Did you find this piece of wood, or did you buy it? The outcome looks really nice and makes the time spent on making this slingshot definatly worth it.

ReplyDeletecommenting to win a slingshot. :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice looking slings again. I love the grain of that second one.
ReplyDeleteAll the best.
Nice. I admire the wood carving that goes into these.
ReplyDeleteBest to All
Is the wood only polished or is it treated with lacquer or
ReplyDeletesomething like that?
somehow I feel the need to make a natural myself. They look so awesome!
ReplyDeleteseriously want to make a natural slingshot, gonna have to find some wood this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me once again wish I had the patience to do woodworking... Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI really like this design. It looks REALLY cool. It must be comfortable to hold too!
ReplyDeleteJorge you must tell me how u achieve that kind of polish.I'ts so beautiful yet natural looking.
ReplyDeleteI like the knobby design of this slingshot but as allways with your designs the forks are too flat for me.
ReplyDeleteAs Itamar said, your finish is really awesome!
Itamar, the dogwood and the olive wood both are very dense and polish well.
ReplyDeleteI use 1000 grit sandpaper, then car chrome polish paste, then a jewelery poslishing rag (normally used for silver).
Nice! I hope you don't run out of dogwood too soon.
ReplyDeleteHow does mone carry those things? Is there a special demon hunter holster?

ReplyDelete@JustBob57: When you hunt demons, you never ever holster your weapons :)
ReplyDeleteThe fork is very strong indeed.
