Finally had time to make some slingshots with the designs I posted in the Shared Designs Forum. I have about 17 cut out and routed, waiting to be sanded and finished. This is probably my favorite design, the Simple Y. It's made out of birch ply with poplar palm swells. Finished with 3 coats of tung oil followed by 4 coats of oil-based poly. Sadly, it's a little cloudy near the top, but I believe it's because I didn't do a great job wet sanding the final coat. I put on car polish to finish it, and it is just about the smoothest finish I've ever felt. Really comfortable. Once the polish wears off, I'll resand and post pictures. Bandset is a single 107 cut in half.
