Lotsa shaping to do, but this roughed out chunk of wood is my interpretation of ergonomic slingshot. This one is from a piece of spalted oak from Patrick. Hopefully, will get several of these done for trade blanket.

See ya in 5 days!

Looking good Mike! I hope you are rasping on that blackjack outside. That stuff has a smell to it.

Question,  how long are you guy's making your fletchings? I made mine 2 inches but they seem short. Even for these little arrows.

I roughed out a few bows today and got a lot of stuff set out and ready to load up.  I'm bringing plenty of stuff to work on this year.  I might even find something for that hippie from Californy to work on.
