Thanks Huntsman Smiley
I harvested the yucca years ago, but never had the time to take on another learning curve. Not sure I want to make anymore slings out of commercial string Wink

jute balearic sling, made with a simple whipping at the end of the release cord instead of a knot.

Nice. Is the braiding on the retention cord sort of "rounder" than the flat braid on the release cord ?

Not very, the angle of the picture just makes it look like that. Sorry about the picture size.

Here's Hubert's Tut-sling tutorial. Smiley
http://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1364114006/0

I swear--if I didn't have this tutorial bookmarked, It would be hell to find. It took me three and a half days just to find it again the first time, and that was after only 2 months had passed! Now that it's 2 years old, it would probably be next to impossible.
(I recommended it [and a couple other tutorial threads] to be edited into Aussie's "FAQ and Tutorial" thread, but it probably just fell through the cracks. Sad )

While tidying up, I found my Aussie-sling, which I had thought lost for a few years. Am very pleased. Thanks again, Aussie.

I may not use mine much, but I still love 'em too Smiley
(I usually opt for a seatbelt sling when it comes to non-braided slings, which happens to be another Aussie original)

It's the best for tennis balls, with its lovely cradle of a pouch-- good for target practice in parks. I'd like to try against a tennis practice wall (they have this square aiming point in the centre).

A sisal sling I made. I pre dyed the strands before I put it all together.

No sythetic whip yet, I add that after it breaks in which takes about 3 weeks. Hope you like it!

Cool

I found this sling-- a nylon cord PJ model-- in a pocket. Took it for some spins, inspired by Huntmansling's recent posts. Alas, the pouch is too flat, and the cord is too slippy, so that, for the first in a long time, the stones escaped the pouch. I cannot get, with this thickness of cord (?) the right cupping of the pouch. I will dispose of this, in favour of rockman models or pouches of rougher material.
