Beautiful work!

Part of the hold up has been that I keep changing up how they're made and the materials used. Still seeking the "perfect sling"...

And now I have the bone to do it. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure it's not anyone you know. Wink

For the spear tips I just need to get new cartridges for my respirator. I recently found out about hazardous bacteria that can be present in bone. I have an air extraction fan with filters and maybe I have an ammunity from all the other bone and antler grinding I've done in the past but hearing about the bacteria freaked me out a little.

I have hesitated for a long time, but I`m well on my way on my second Chamorro sling now. The pouch is done and I braid my way on each side.
