David sling

[Cousin Jack]

I just completed this sling over the weekend. I made it at the request of a customer of mine (I have made a couple now)...The thongs/cords and cradle are all constructed from leather.

This sling is approximately 35-1/2" folded in half.

Neat huh?

Beautiful.

Where'd you learn to work leather like that? I especially like the "acorn" braid to caputer the end of the sling.

 

[Cousin Jack]

Alot of reading, and even more "trial and error"...

Making a sling like this one takes about 3 hours...Even longer if you discover a braiding mistake half-way through the process... :banghead:

Awesome!

I love it.

Hey Cousin Jack, about time you made it over here!

CJ is a good guy makes the best braided knife lanyards!

 

[Cousin Jack]

Hi Valkman!

When are you going to buy some of my leather ones?

 

[JShirley]

Neat.

This is a *real* potential weapon, and if the Palestinians are using these, I can understand Jewish soldiers firing back.

Welcome to THR, Cuz Jack.

Wow Jack! That's some mighty pretty work!

I purchased one from CJ and they are actually better than they look. Very pleased customer here!

I have a buddy who uses his sling while quail hunting. He'll sling a rock into a bush, flushing out the birds, while his hunting partners stand by ready with their shotguns.

If I ever have to take on Goliath I guess I know who to call.
