I made a hammerhead design from it, this time with a "compromise" fork - higher than my experts versions, and lower than the beginners version. Teh fork has a clearance of 11cm (width) and 25mm (height). Total fork height over the hand is 35mm (vs. 25mm "expert" and 45mm "beginners").
The oak isn't brittle at all, but smelled like chicken soup during the filework... and it looks so much darker after the polishing. No stain, just clear oil.
This frame is even deeper than the original Moorhead, especially towards the "pinkie" end. I think this is an enhancement.
masterpiece! I love it :)

Gunstock oil. I have several types, here, I used the clear one.

ReplyDeleteanyway i need to ask you something. i made a slingshot but i didnt want to attach the bands yet because im not sure if they can be used for this purpose. instead of using thera bands, rubber bands or speargun rubber i am using the elastic band from an accordion folder. i plan on using two elastic bands(1 full folder band on each side) but i dont know if it would be safe. my materials are limited actually due to my latex allergy(i cant use rubber bands)and the fact that i have no access to thera or speargun rubber. am i fine with the bands i have or should i use somthing else?
im kinda new to your channel and was wondering, do you sell and of your sling shots? very nice work. love it!!!
