My package from Christian arrived today!

One of the beautiful Tibetan slings (really nice electric blue edging to it), a replica Roman lead glande and a replica Celtic clay bullet. All in all a pretty awesome package

It's really interesting to have a proper lead and clay glande as I've only ever used rocks and tennis balls and it's interesting just how small they are. I haven't done that much research into lead and clay bullet weights and sizes but I've always imagined them to be much larger because of the huge stones I use. Seeing these examples though I'm seeing just how deadly these ammo types were and still are and it's not surprising the Romans had to invent tools to take the lead bullets out of people. That thing could really do some damage against bare skin or light clothing.

Bump


Just wondering how everyone's SITH has been .
Seeing if there's any more pictures coming
Glad Australia post got my sling to Canada was worried for a bit

No problem shale!!
I left the arms long so there's some room to adjust if need be.
I think it likes lead too

My SITH has arrived!!!

That pattern is really easy to get: Just one of the three strand-groups in the braid is green. Once you start braiding, it creates the pattern itself. The only problem is trying to balance that one strand in the pouch.

Honestly, if I ever get the tools to do it properly, I'll start covering the pouch with leather to make it more durable, and to hide the ugly splices and pattern gone awry.

But first, I'm going to try to master this pattern.

Nice looking sling
