The handle is based on the Zodiac symbol - like this:
Of course I had to "squeeze" the symbol to make a functional handle from it.
I chose the red cedar wood (because I found it fitting for cancer), and used a 14mm multiplex core.
The fork is 19mm multiplex, inked in red.
Banded it up with a light TBG set - this is surprisingly comfortable, and very lightweight!
It is the prize for this month's competition - but there are no candidates yet. A pity, but then again I may have to keep the slingshot - a nice piece for sure.

Dear Mr. Sprave, I have seen some of your videos of various slingshots. Realy great fun to watch them so i decided to subscrive myself to your blog. There is so much information to be found here. All I can say is keep up the good work.
