Skit,
I was pleasantly surprised at how it turned out!!!
It's the fist (natural) that's been ordered in the multiplex.
So far I'm liking this material. It does have a few quirks to get used to when working it.

I have always thought of "plywood" as a second rate wood to use for slingshots, but after trading with Baumstaam for a few shooters I began to see how dead wrong I have been. His multiplex slingshots quickly became a regular guest in my slingshot bag. This new one from Pallan is really nice looking, not to mention the design is pretty cool as well. It is very different from a solid hardwood slingshot and has a different kind of look, that if finished well, looks stout, strong and tournament ready. It sure is more demanding of proper attention to grain when sanding for a smooth finish and is harder on blades when cutting, probably because of the glue. I'm glad to have a new material to work with now, but I will still make solid wood slingshots for me once in a while, along with bent steel ones too.

Great looking frame Perry! Love all the different colored layers. Gotta love Spar Poly. I've been using it for years. Flatband

Don't worry ... I enjoy shooting twisted metal slingshots too. Hey that is a cool name ! I'm gonna call mine "Smitty Twisted Metal Slingshots", I think it has a nice "ring" to it (when "hit").
I think they are just too smooth shooting to quit playing with.

I don't know Twisted Smitty's metal slingshot sounds better

It just may be that everyone who plays with slingshots wood or steel is a bit "twisted"!!!

That's exactly what it is!!! Multiplex is very rare and only grows deep in the forest near Xanadu. I got exclusive logging rights just for my catties. If you count the layers you can tell how old it was when harvested.


Thanks DH!!!
