Give me 20 acres and a decent cabin up in the mountains and no one would ever see me again. I would just sit up there braiding my slings, making my bows and fish for trout. Life would be good. Maybe have a nice little garden... Man... That's the life.

It has a woven finger loop. The retention cord is mostly 3x2. Release cord is 6x2 tapered down to 3x2. It's skinny and lightweight, made for all weather comfortable and easy slinging.

Balearic style sling made from sisal twine, length 24''.

I tried using the rough side of leather on the pouch this time but not tried it out yet to see if it's better. This is motivated by lacklustre reliability on smooth beach pebbles.

I was trying a different method of splicing cords in this time so the pouch arms aren't as thick as I would usually do.

I also have a full fibre balearic sling on the way, of which I'm currently about 70% complete and it's looking pretty good.

Woven pouch sisal sling of length about 27''.

This was quite difficult to make, initially I thought the woven part might not be possible with sisal but it works with some effort. It turned out pretty nice in the end and has a decent cupping to it.I would probably use a different material next time though. Sisal and weaving are not natural friends!

This and the above sling are also pending leather lined fingerloops for extra comfort Cool
