This ia a nice and quite symmetrical antler of ash I gathered six months ago. It was well dried and seasoned before being carved. I finished it with linseed oil, camellia oil and beeswax. Thanks for watching. Bob.

stunning Bob

[Jim Williams]

That sure is a stunner!

[M_J]

The little details like the shape of the handle on this one really sets the great slingshots apart!

[fatboy]

Very nice. I like it a lot.

Beautiful grain in that Ash. Love the shape you gave it, very nice!

So do you mind me asking about how many hours did it take to
make it once you harvested? Thanks.

fantastic job bob this reminds me of chepo's work!

[monoaminooxidase]

bob, you know how to bring out the natural beauty of the wood and give it a fitting shape. slingshots like yours are rare, and definitely inspiring.
edit: I'll agree with mckee to some part. everything i say above, i can say about chepo as well, yet both have their own style. and more often than not, you can easily tell which catty was made by whom.

Thanks Sean. You have made me think about it for a while....I can say that I've been working on it for a week in my time off, it was about 20 hours carving with knife, rasps and sand-papers.
