Looks good man. I'd probably call that a triple rock man as well. That's woven, Balearics are all braided.
Yep. I have a true triple Balearic from Mallorca, braided and leather lined. I really should get around to taking some pics of it.
@ Morningstar : Ya you gotta post up a few pics! Including measurements and I'd really like to hear your opinion on its functionality.
@ lakeslinger : your triple rockman looks great! I had no idea I was following something someone already made, which makes it better for me because now I can ask what your experience is with it in terms of performance.
I took my triple rockman out yesterday and it performed admirably. I don't think I will make a different kind when it comes to my personal use. It handled every rock size, shape, and weight with ease. It was good knowing that the large pouch would securely hold all rocks, even without leather. Also, the rather large pouch was not cumbersome or too big. The release of the rocks was also perfect, not fettered by the length or width of the pouch. I will say though that the 9 strings of 1/16 th inch utility cord woven down each side of the sling helped manage the large pouch with extra support. I'm probably going to try it out again today, thanks for all the kind words everyone!
