C_A made a big one for rolling clay balls. I think it should work with biconical form too. It just had to be made with less than two half tubes.

Same pattern, new material.

This sling is made of hemp with a seven strand taperred braid.

If you're using my tutorial at http://itanohu.blogspot.com, it's the same basic concept.

I took five cords, each cord had three strands plaited together. I broke down each of the cords and braided it as you see here.

With all of the untwisting and retwisting of the strands that make up this cord the finished braid took on some unusual twists but they were easily worked out and the sling works great.

Posts: 2504 Norway Gender:	Re: Acho' Atupat Chamorro Sling (Guam) Reply #87 - Nov 18^th, 2012 at 2:18pm DM, you`ll probably need to learn by doing it, that`s what I did "Sew" and weave the strand from the 5-strand braid and between the separate pouch strands, and maybe around the braid itself too. If it looks more or less like in one of Picåru`s pictures it`s probably allright.

Making slings a creative outlet, another form of art. None of the slings I make look like the other and sometimes I have to adlib just to make it work. You have skills and if you need some additional guidance I'm happy to help, just PM me.

For example, when this sling was finished one side was longer than the other and overall it was too short. Rather than tossing it I used some scrap leather to extend the sling and gave the Chamorro sling a great and different look.
