These are all the slings currently in my possession. If I were to collect all my slings, I would be going on a long road trip all over the place lol. I estimate this is only one/seventh of the actual number I have made.

part one: natural fibers

From the top left to right: Balearic made from jute, latigo cords with braintan pouch sewn with genuine sinew (made by my brother), leather/jute sling, sisal woven pouches, Tut jute, and finally a sisal Balearic.

You know your a slinger when your youth pastor's nickname for you is Five Smooth.

Gonna go out on a limb and say that the pouch on the sling slingbadger has graciously shown us was braided using a gaucho style braiding and the center braiding reversed directions whenever it contacted the outer braided rim. My thoughts anyways. Definitely a work of art.

As soon as it gets here (and I actually can find the time) I'm heading straight to the field, with that giant frying pan I have for a target in hand, and testing it out

That's pretty cool Vetryan. I hang out with a knife making group and just drew my plans for my second knife last week. Even though I spend a lot of time in the shop I only dabble in it. We basically do steel cutouts but I would love to try doing a blade from stock. My buddy just doesn't have the gear for that at this point.
Btw, if you could post or even message me on how you make a ferro rod I would be very interested.
Good on ya for being industrious btw
