well i guess you could go with the Turks head for the base, but i would rather stitch the base then the a short cobra stitch over it

i also remember that some people prefer 2 heavy stones (the side 2 ones) and one shorter and lighter one (middle)

I'm making mine with 6 ball bearings covered in monkey fist knots. The lines will all go to a small ring (actually a key ring).

i remember that paleoarts had one like it, basically you have eight pouches (or knots) and cords with the same weight length, and size. then you would have them attached to a ring, like Kjev's key ring. you then grip one pouch/knot and twirl it over your head, centrifugal force will make the 7 others spread out evenly, release and you get your whirling terror of doom Grin

Are you going to do an Inuit or Icelandic bolo. (The Icelandic is actually from Greenland, it has a handle, 4 cords that split in half 2/3 of the way down, and 8 weights.) Inuit normally have as many cords as weights.

Massi - WTF? It's called a sling. You use it to throw rocks farther and faster than you could otherwise. That's all.
