Thanks tae awe above guys appreciate your comments. This is my 2nd natural (& my new edc) so it's early days... but wid is guid & the search furra slight recurved fork will be a continued goal!
Sorry I double posted this thread yesterday.. use o back buttons & questionable memory! (Contacted Aaron so hopefully the dupe will disappear.)
Here is second sling..
A've stained this yin & also carved the bottom 1"+ o' the handle wi' a wee gouge, it's amazin' the additional grip ye get without grippin' hard here. Also added a (trial) single f.o. sight.
It'sa an early Birthday present fur ma' fishin mate
((A' stertit carvin' anither (bigger/thicker) yin yisterday p.m. .. it's lookin kinda Chalicey!))

A' jist finished the wumpa'wid (above.) It finished 4³/₁₆" (106mm) across the forks. Hence the black GZK bands are a bit short..need anither 10-15mm tae A.L. (Biggest sling A've made yit!)
Decided tae gouge the entire grip.. it's noo self adheres tae yer palm. Stained & s'glue feenish Hand made eye bolt (hivnae perfected makin' these yit..bit fiddly.)
The 'hing A' really like'taboot daein this sling is the minimal sandin' A did......tap front, tap flats & inside forks maistly, the rest by knife...although a must say "a huge amount o whitlin' !"
