I like it but want to give it some real use before deciding if it's a good fiber for my needs. Is it just me or does jute sometimes feel brittle and weak? Btw, thanks Huntsman.

Posts: 2453	Re: Pictures of Slings and Slinging Reply #4749 - Feb 12^th, 2016 at 5:21pm Nice; my favorite color too This is what the tail will probably look like after an hour of slinging. At least it happened to one of mine, which is why i've gone to using a detachable popper

Ya the whip breaking is a bugger. The above sling I made is unfortunately just going to be a wall hanger to be looked at which is why I didn't put the dacron whip on like I normally do Wink

I'd like to see your detachable popper if you have some photos walter that would be neat to see how you do it.

Also thanks for the compliments walter and Tomas!

I just wish there was a way to make the loop where the whip connects seamless without binding, but I understand that is reserved for the finger loop and you can't have both Thanks walter!

I would love to know how you accomplished the splice. I cannot figure it out for the life of me
