When is a Natty no longer a Natty?! It seems to me that as soon as you start taking material away from a Natural Fork it cannot really be a Natty!
This is technically my 3rd try at a piece of Raw Mother Nature. The other two were practice runs and are close to be shootable, maybe. However, this Red Oak fork actually fits my hand. The fork gap is 3". Center Tip to Tip is 4". The spalting and tight grain structure is screaming in satisfaction that its life will continue on in this slingshot.
A simple bath in BLO followed by a rub down with paste wax set the stage for this piece! If you bump into Island Made let him know that I carved this with a pair of dull toenail clippers.
