Just finished these this evening for a customer,the light was poor for photography,they are actually more purple than in the pics,the wood is purple and black diamondwood,and inset into them are small disks of Abalone shell sealed in with resin.

"More purple than in the pics"
That's hard to imagine! My daughter would love them, I'll probably show these to her tomorrow.
Very cool work! I think I'll dye my next one, you've inspired me.

I love purple, I have been using a purple dye...but I wish I had some dymondwood. I think color is underrated in slingshots, so many versions of brown...blah blah blah. Shake it up I say! Nice job on the shooters.

Frisco Style, cool! Never seen it on a slingshot. Very nice, I would give that to my girlfriend (and I know how f-ing demanding she is!) keep it up!

Oh wow! Those are super cool! Maybe I'll try some insets/inlays when I get more proficient at cutting out the shapes!

Forgive me, but you stained that, right? There isn't some crazy pink wood out there that the discovery channel hasn't told me about, is there?
