Hello everybody. A friend sent me a one-inch thick red oak board. This is what I made with it. It is my impression of the slingshot in Martin's avatar, which I have been admiring for ever.




This is a real hunter. If I get out after some rabbits this winter, it's what I will definitely use. I have it armed with some tapered 0.040 latex. With some .44 cal. lead I won't have any trouble getting a kill. Man this is a sweet shooter!




It is finished like a user, not a piece of furniture, i.e., raw linseed oil and beeswax. This will be no drawer queen, that's for sure.



I did ask Martin's permission before posting this -- thanks, man. And thanks to MXRed for the great piece of lumber.
