I tried to make a split pouch sling similar to balearic, I know that they are two different things, but I absolutely cannot do it! ) It seems to me to do a real Balearic sling is difficult, I do not know how to do it as beautifully and well as Mr. Jaegoor, Czech slinger, and Luis Pons Livermore, Albion slinger, I have looked at their work for a long time, flawless

Posts: 193 Gender:	Re: Pictures of Slings and Slinging Reply #6906 - Jul 7^th, 2021 at 4:07pm I made a replica of my first ever braided sling(which also was the first thing I ever braided) which is the jute split pouch sling on the left. And on the right is one of my sisal balearic slings I now make(with paracord guts cracker).

My first attempts were absolutely shocking. They barely qualified as slings. I would be more than happy to use that sling of yours now!
