[A+ Slingshots]

Yesterday I went to the mailbox and found a mysterious package waiting for me. I hadn't ordered anything lately so I didn't know what it was. Lo and behold when I opened it up I lit up like a kid on Christmas morning!!!!!!
My good buddy Dayhiker had sent me a present.
It was the most beautiful little natural shooter I have ever seen complete with a nice little burned in cross and a square braided lanyard with monkey fist knot!!!!!! His note said that he feels that a smaller slingshot is better for butterfly shooting. It fits the ticket. I strung it up this morning with some black butterfly bands and had a blast shooting it. I wonder what kind of wood it is??? It's BEA...Utiful!!! Nice and smooth finished with linseed oil.
Bill you really surprised me and made my day!!!!! I will truly cherish this little shooter.
Thanks and God bless!!!

that looks great! the grain in it is amazing

Perry, I'm glad you like it. This time I didn't use linseed oil. It's a Smitty finish, i.e., wax. Four coats of Bowling Alley Wax. I think Smitty just uses furniture wax on it once in a while after the initial Johnson's Floor Wax he uses. Thanks for the praise, is very significant coming from you, one of the masters of the craft.

P.S. Don't know the wood. But it came from the same bush as the "Bullseye" slingshot I posted a while ago.

Yeah Bill turns out a right and proper natural slingshot. I'm lucky enough to have one and it's a fine piece of work. In fact, if I were a tree I'd want you to make a slingshot out of one of my branches.
