Looks good RC  Smiley I like 2 oz for balearic slings, but mine are only around 27 to 28" from pouch ctr to release.

That's your first attempt? I need to go hide my first attempts a bit lower in the box I keep them in...

Nice! How was that design put on? Recently I made a design on one of my slings(with a wood burner, but it just cut a layer of the leather, didn't really burn like I wanted it to, so I colored in the grooves with a pen, I hope it stays) the sling is still in the making.

Looking good guys. Hubert, is that braid historically accurate?

Here's my newest sling, and in my opinion, the best looking one I've made. It's made of Kevlar cord in the traditional apache style. I burned the maze design into it (I draw mazes at school when I have nothing else to do, and I like the way they look so I burned a small one on leather and cut a pouch from it) however the burning just cut though the top layer of skin to the felt part, and didn't burn so I had to go and accentuate the design with a pen. Also this is the first time I've put a bit of leather over the inside of the finger loop.

Interesting. If I may ask, what's with the metal beads on the finger loop?
