The wife tends to leave her hairbrush on the bathroom vanity. every day I see this brush and think I should be able to do something with the design of the handle. sooo....I came up with this....22mm spotted gum with a laminated handle cum palm swell made from Queensland maple. I haven't come up with name yet, I've just been calling it "geez what a nice little shooter!" :)

Nice man, I say call it Grug.

For some reason the shape of the handle reminds me of him.

very nice. I love the way the two pieces are laminated at a diagonal through the entire slingshot. From the front it looks like an average palm swell, but from the side a simple creative elegance is evident. You have just flooded my mind with ideas.

Beautiful work, as I was reading this, I thought you were gonna say you took your wife's hairbrush to make the catty. :vD
