Hello Slingshot Forum friends!!

I present my latest hand carved frame in acacia wood (Acacia dealbata), the "Butterscotch"

Since this one has a kind of caramel colour and it's going to my friend Trap1, which lives in Scotland, I've chosen this name!

It was finished with linseed oil and acrylic varnish, which is a first try for me.

Hope you like it!!!!

Cheers ...Q

THANK YOU so much for your feedback, my friend!!!

This time I've experimented a non-natural finish. It is a semi-gloss acrylic varnish

MANY THANKS for your comment, my friend!!

Making a natural slingshot it's all an adventure, from harvesting the raw fork until the final varnish coats

You should try it!!

Looks smooth as glass, always like the naturals you make. Good job

Just the wood in itself has that ability, like some iridescent property. But adding the acrylic varnish enhanced that a bit!!!

I'm glad you've liked it, SLING-N-SHOT!!!

Hope everything's fine!!

Regarding the post about the dart quiver: yes, I've heard about the neck position. Seems to be a target practice position, with a small quiver. This one is a bit larger than those I've seen being carried in that fashion. Perhaps I should try to fasten it to the leg, holster type.

Many thanks for your feedback on that!!
