Yew Slingshot
« on: May 04, 2015, 12:59:25 pm »
Here is the 2nd slingshot I've made, just finished it up 2am this morning.  Considerably more refined than my first, which was quite rough.  Frame is a pacific yew fork with a really nice mix of sapwood/heartwood and weathered wood.  Haven't shot it yet, but I will soon!

I got some natural rubber sheet from some slingshot supply company online.  Was about $12 shipped
