Hello SlingshotForum friends!!!
I present my latest work, a natural bark-on slingshot, carved out from a sugar maple fork (Acer saccharum).
This fork was part of a gift from a very well known member (I believe he's still a member here
) of SSF, Clever Moniker.
He was kind enough in sending me two great pieces of sugar maple and it was arranged for me to send him a natural slingshot of mine. Naturally, in a patriotic way, he asked me to carve his shooter on one of the sugar maple forks, which (I believe) it is the Canadian national tree. It was finished with linseed oil and some coats of beeswax. The "bark-on" handle bottom is nothing new, but I decided to give it a try myself. I think it enhanced the natural look of the piece.
I hope Clever Moniker likes the slingshot!! :wave:
Thanks for watching!!!
Cheers ...Q
