How bout a look at a PS-2 in the Birch Multiplex unstained all natural with it's four coats of Spar Varnish almost ready to ship out. Just waiting on the delivery of some Theraband material.
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.
Ok I got to say it, That's a nice looking slingshot...Great job as always Pallan, if I ever get things together I might just have to buy me one....does this count as eating my words???
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.
SMITTY dont stop making the Bent Steel they shoot very well.I dont know which one i shoot better.im much better then i though.BENT STEEL ROCKS.THAT ALL I SAY NOW.
BENT STEEL ROCKS
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.

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.
I need one of these! Expect an order soon, I've a feral pigeon job to do and I'm going to use catties on the first couple of visits until they wise up and the gun needs to come out!
