Hello!

No shooting here since weeks - up to -20°C! Germany gets colder and colder...
So what to do? Building slingshots of course!
Here is one of my latest: "Boomerang wood" core, thick Ebony on both sides and a little piece of Amboyna burl on the back.
I love the look and the feeling of Ebony, but I really don`l like to work with this kind of wood - very dusty and a bit like coal...
The Boomerang wood (very fine multiplex) is 6mm thick - 12 layers of birch wood.
And Amboyna burl... just for the eye, I love it!!

That's got CLASS written all over it, the little detail with the burl, beautiful!
heh heh and I agree with the others, hope it keeps snowing!

as a side note, I notice you don't put any band grooves in, does that create any problems?
