looks like a nice fork to me..very nice color to the wood. Looks like you did a fine job. The only thing I would say is be careful if you use heavier bands. Right at the shoulder the fork is a little narrow and the grain runs across it, that could lead to a weak spot but I'm not a expert and I don't know anything about that type of wood so it might not be a issue..

You know, I don't really see any problems with it. I'd have to see what it looks like in the hand to say for sure, but from here it looks like a fine slingshot.

Jackfruit tree wood. See the link.

Looks fine to me. I, too, would like to see a picture of it in your hand. How thick is it?
I like the shape, the color, and the finish. Nice job.

nice, ilove jack fruit!

Yeah looks fine to me, too. With the handle being so short I'm sure he's planning on using a fork-supported hold. I like the colour and grain of the wood and it looks like he really turned out a nice piece.

Really nice shooter there! Looks like a keeper to me.
