Hi all,
Been busy and haven't posted much but I didn't completely forget about slinging! I made a one piece leather sling recently and think it's a sellable/marketable item.
I will post a picture in the next days but I've used the rough copy to some extent and it wears well and works well too!
I think it will last a long time and wasn't overly labor intensive to make compared to the braided and woven ones - About an hour's work.
Once I post a pic of the finished product(it's a sleek beast) I'll ask you guys what you think of my price for it. Maybe I'll offer a discount to members as well:)

Looking forward to.it

Following this post w/ great anticipation.  I am still in the paracord- leather pouch stage of my sling construction.

Tomorrow gents!

Pretty, I would not want to mar it with use.

Wanna see more!!!

Here's the specs
The pouch is 9"  end to end from where the taper starts. The split is 4.5". Each arm of the pouch is 1/2" wide.
The retention cord is 3/8" wide and the release cord starts the same and narrows down to just under 1/4" at the tip.
The retention cord come from the shoulder of the cow and is thicker than the release cord which is towards the rear of the animal. Goes from about 12 oz leather at its thick end to 9 oz at the release end.

Length is 29".
The leather is saddle skirting which means it's tough. I waxed the sling with a beeswax compound and the thread is waxed handstitching thread.

That can always be a customer request:)
Aesthetically, I don't really like whipping myself though
