As with a lot of you, my collection of collectable and fine wood slingshots is forever growing. My boot box is really getteng too small. Also I don't want any of my "high end" frames getting scratched. I would also like an easy to access display that I can show and still be easy to access when I want to shoot. And visible to visitors to my home.
Im trying to find a display a style that will suit my home, This is a corner of my dining room and is typical of the style of my home.

Anyone???

Thanks!
I really like the display case idea. That's currently what we're using for our creepy curio and small taxidermy pieces.
That's am amazing collection of frames that you have there!

I posted this a while back, it's the back wall of my office by the door where I can just grab whatever catches my eye and walk out with it. My catchbox was about 10 yards from the door, till a tree landed on it. I'm gonna get around to replacing it one of these days, really.

That's a pretty cool collection!

Hmmm...these are all awesome displays.
I'm thinking of maybe doing a shadow box/case display with a glass front. Nothing too fancy, as a matter of fact I'm thinking something rustic or antique looking. Maybe framed?

Here is what I came up with, and it's wife friendly!
I bought this from a thrift store for 20bucks and re wired and re painted it. It has some other things in it for now to add to the antique look, with NO girly wife stuff

I made these display hangers for my slingshots:

those are some cool display hangers. did you modify something into those, or made it from scratch?

LGD

I made them, I have a bending fixture for making the basic pattern, then each one is tweaked a little to fit each slingshot.

Wow.... those cases/ displays are amazing!!! Frankly mine are all strewn around the house in boxes and in various hunting bags. To be honest I've never thought to display them. I may need to try to change that.

I hear you; I only have a few in the case at the moment, the rest are either next to my target box because i shoot them so often that i dont want to case them or in miscellaneous "junk" drawers around the house

there all awesome i need to get a cabinet

Yup, they seem to be pretty inexpensive at thrift stores. Then refinish it to suit your taste. Is a fun project.

i have a few drying right now and i have 5 that are not on the wall yet because they are not done.

Nice collection.
