It's based on this one: http://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1339632628

The fingerloop is a 3-strand braid, the retention cord is 6 strand, and the release cord tapers from 6 to 3 strands. The release cord ends in a matthew walker knot.

Instead of passing another strand back and forth prior to weaving the pouch, I passed the strands of the braids of the sides of the pouch back and forth. The only problem with this method is it can make the sides of the pouch a bit lumpy. I'll attach a picture so it hopefully makes sense.

Posts: 3805 PA, USA	Re: Pictures of Slings and Slinging Reply #7506 - Jul 28^th, 2023 at 5:07pm @Eino - Good find from way back in the archives. I moved the tutorial to the Sling Academy board. I don't think canteskuyaOMD will mind. He hasn't logged in for more than a decade. And great looking sling!

It’s a cow leather pouch, sized for T Balls. Nice and short! Made with a three strand braid in 275 Para. Throws really nice, which surprised me, it’s very snappy!
