slingshot improvement

[porco-dddio]

This is a repetition of a formula/design I found out works. its chestnut core, plus g10 liners and walnut laminated.

I use gflex flexible glue, and some brass pins to keep it together. Will do 3 holes and thats about it.

This design involves using thumb grip, there is a thumb rest area near the fork, and is supposed to be held with the left hand. The only variations I did compared to the previous design is I expanded the grip section, will make bigger thumbrest. Slingshot will be bulkier as a result.

I am at 2nd layer. It takes 3 or 4 days to finish 1 slingshot with this process.

This wild cherry got some issue. But I think I can turn it into a baby slingshot.

I think this one got some fungi, but they dont seem to have done damage, not yet at least, maybe i treat it and make a baby slingshot, something small.

This is the first time I do it, basically I managed to spllice the slingshot in half, and I took a piece of walnut, and I impregnated it with some random wood petrifier using kitchenware to do it. will be the middle layer, hope is solid enough

This new one on th emakin is essentially a varition of the other desgn.

the same formula: chestnut + g10 + walnut with some variations so this time I added a lamination for a change. Just to see what happens.
