Have made two entirely different "Phoenix" models today. Phew! That was a lot of dirty work.

First one is a laminate of four 3mm Cocobolo veneer and three 3mm copper plates. A heavy, nice shooter that needs some more finishing - but for today it is enough.

The second one is probably the most beautiful Phoenix I ever made. 9mm birch multiplex core, then Thuja scales. The Thuja is too brittle for a sleek slingshot, but laminated to the multiplex it is rock solid. I just love this slingshot am I am totally proud.

Can't wait for the rain to stop so I can shoot the new babies!

Wow. Those are both extraordinary! I like the second the best. Man that is great. You should make that one your main shooter (if that is even possible).

One of the things that keeps me coming back to the Slingshot Forum - and Joerg's posts in particular - are the functional, artistic, and innovative designs on on a simple "Y" fork. That copper laminate is awesome Joerg!

Joerg these both look really pretty, i will have to have a go at making a Phoenix myself after seeing how nice yours have turned out

 

[Flatband]

Joerg, they are both awesome but that last one is DEFINiTELY the most gorgeous one you ever made. I've heard of Thula Burl and it is as beautiful as I had heard. Great job Bud! Flatband

IMO I like the top one

the rlly dark woods always catch my eye

 

[Performance Catapults]

Beautiful Joerg...If you decide to make another Thuja laminate, maybe seperate the multiplex and Thuja with a black spacer? I believe it would enhance it, setting off the dark areas of the Thuja. Just my $.02.

Still fantastic looking!!!

I love them both .... the first one has an outline that evokes an Egyptian scarab beetle, and the second one makes me want to look for where the bowl of tobacco (or 1-hitter of ganja) is hidden.

Awesome job.

Hmm a slingshot pipe. Now your talking!

 

[Darb]

You betcha ... if you cant GET a hit on the target, you can simply TAKE the hit.

 

[harpersgrace]

Great forks as usual...the second is a real knock-out

 

[Tom Krein]

Those are both amazingly beautiful!!
