Hello,
I have rummaged through my slingshot leftover pile and found a few pieces of Arizona desert ironwood. Not enough to cut a complete slingshot, but too beautiful to let go to waste.
So I turned a steel skeleton from a massive one inch stainless steel rod and attached the round leftover wood to it.
It actually came out nice. A light shooter, this time with a higher fork and plain, modest over the top band attachment.
I like this slingshot. It is very solid, 8 mm steel up to the tips of the wood.
