Mike, the cord on the right in the picture is quite thin. Were I to remake that sling I would make the retention cord thicker near the pouch and then make the split pouch wider on both sides. Then make the side with the thinner cord much thicker at least for the first 6-8 cms coming off the pouch. Then reduce the cord thickness of the new thinner cord to something about three times thicker than what you have shown in the picture, at least.
I would also work on the transition areas both on the retention to pouch side and the release to pouch side and make the braiding and shape smoother.
So quick summary this is what I would do-
thicker pouch, meaning each side would be equal to the amount of fiber you used in both sides in that one.
Thicker cordage near the pouch transition from cord to pouch. A thicker release cord. Get rid of that whipping on the release cord and use leather stitched on. Basically make it more balearic like although it doesn’t have to be made exactly like one.
Most importantly, as was already said, practice, practice PRACTICE!! lol. But if you want my honest opinion on sling making that’s what I would start with.
Thank you, i am going to try that when i make a next one and compare them. I will practise slinging with a friend today. He will make a video (he has a phone, i dont) and you will finally get the video you have been waiting for.
