This is a sling that I'm fascinated about. I think it is from the Marquesa Islands. Has anyone have any more information on this sling or has replicated it. Would love to learn the braiding technique.

The braid work baffles me on the "Marquesa Island sling."
Here is the finished Lizard sling I posted earlier. It has a new home in Australia

I've got a book on kumihimo with a few braids that seem similar.... I'd be happy to pm you pictures of the instructions.

Beautiful work HuntsmanSling! The color combination is awesome! Tomas, I'd be interested those pictures please. Here is another traditional Hawaiian braided Ma'a made from coconut husk fiber. Coconut husk fiber is very different to work with.

WOW
,that coconut husk sling looks awesome. Seems like it would be a scratchy material. Would you use leather for wraps, around the finger loop to make sure your finger doesn't go raw, from use?? Or is it a jute like material, And softer than sinsal?

vetryan15, thank you for the compliment! Actually this particular coconut fiber is soft, in between jute and sisal. My finger has not gotten raw from slinging this particular sling.
