Hey guys, Its Devan. I haven't posted any of my slingshot projects in a wile so i thought i would upload my latest. I have been enjoying working with my new grizzly band saw and my grizzly spindle sander that i got for my birthday and Christmas. Soon i will show my new tools to the forum but for now just my slingshots.

First is a hawthorn natural than i spent a lot of time carving to leave spots of bark on. I used a walnut stain and 3 coats of polyurethane. I put some gypsy tabs on using cat food bag string - has anyone tried this stuff? which i have found to work great for gypsy tabs. I also used black nylon cord to whip a handle which is very comfortable. Some Double theraband hunter bands and its ready for the woods, too bad seasons end today . I have chosen this to be my "main" slingshot for plinking and hunting.

Next is a zebra wood laminate with a walnut center that i made for my dads friend. This has turned out very well with 3 coats of poly and a set of double bands for keeping the squirrels out of his yard . I love this zebra wood, i will definitely be using it for future slingshots. Hope he likes it and i hope you do too =]

thanks for looking
Devan

look like some great shooters right there. Great job, I still need to dabble in some laminates but i cant obtain any good lumber around here other then oak, maple and the multiplex. I want to do something a bit more exotic so i guess ill need to order some blanks!
