Wow! First time I've seen a Rockman and an Etruscan combined!
It came out very, very well. Daddy like
There`s one I posted in the picture thread (p. 212). Here it`s again. It`s more rockman than etruscan.
Great work, HuntsmanSling!

My balearic sisal sling for about 3 years. With linen I have no direct comparison. They throw but a bit faster. I use wax to abrasion. Both

Ah--must've been during one of my hiatuses...haiatii? Anyways, that's a really nice and consistently-woven sling. I like the woven release tab

I see. As for throwing faster, perhaps the linen sling denser? (because of the wax?)

there is this thing called leather.
Anyway, I am sure it can be done. but it would take a massive amount of cordage.
I personally like the rockman and rocklaric, both sort of a cross between a solid pouch and a stranded pouch. Balarics have this annoying"rocks fall out of this thing" problem... I find the tut a little small pouched, good for throwing lead, but not much else.

It's alright I'm willing to use lots of material. Just bought 33 spools of 1/16 th inch thick sporting cord, 100 ft each for around $160 total. All different colors and patterns purchased online a few days ago. By the way can't wait for it to arrive ^^
Oooo. Where did you get the cord from?

Both.... Do what? Sisal seems like it would be more durable than linen, but have not touched either for a few months....
Just joined Paleoplanet, will probably be far less active now

Still braiding a traditional balearic sling I couldn`t wait to try one. Due to the problems I described previously in this thread and after some great advices I got here, I took the sling on the picture attached here and coated the split pouch with natural latex glue (the picture is taken before this). Now, with this thick rubber coating I don`t lose stones and was already able to make some good throws. The unfinished balearic sling I´m working on will be made of green jute (max. 36 strands) and leather sewn on the pouch. When finished I´ll post it in the picture thread.
