Beautiful grain, the carving really brings it out nicely. Well done.

"Commodus" - Carved from Karelyan Birch
5
The shop where I buy my exotic wood added a piece of imperfect birch to my shipment, for free.

I decided to make a slingshot from it, what else! It is carved from one piece. Finihed it in oil to highlight the grain. I think it came out pretty good!
The fork is narrow, but that is hardly relevant, as my stickshot clearly demonstrated.

I named it "Commodus", because it reminds me on the wooden sword from "Gladiator". You know, the old gladiatar got it from Cesar as a sign that he was released from slavedom.

hey Joerg, since it's imperfect you can send it to me so it doesn't bring down the rest of your collection

The wood block was imperfect insofar as it was not an even block. There was bark on one side. Probably a leftover part.
Now of course there is no more imperfection! So I don't have to come back to your generous offer.
