Well, it was just a pair of laces I made into the rough version you see in the picture. I'll make the polishes version later on but I mainly just wanted to share the knot.

Nice! It really does have a scorched look!
This one is butchers twine and sport cord, 28".
And leather- this stuff is super thick and cushy,  I can honestly say its about as nice a piece of leather as I've ever seen. This sling really feels about perfect for me.

Thanks I appreciate it. I was really unsure if I was going to nail the "burned wheat" theme while I was taking the dyed sisal out of the buckets. I'm happy with it though.

I like your sling Tomas. No idea how you attached the woven bit to the leather, but it looks pretty clean however you did it Wink

I used a square braid and braided around the tails of the leather. The great thing about using round and square braids is that you can braid around a core. You might like it better than a flat braid if you try it out for yourself:)

Yep for my middle and ring fingers:) I used to feel like my single finger was gonna pop off when the sling snapped open so I upgrades to two fingers and I never looked back:)

Used in recent slinging-- very soft jute, quite nice to sling with, but the release cord suffers much wear. Was too lazy to put on whipping, so I bound the end with white electrician's tape. It actually works well, but is very ugly.
