haven't made one but I've got a couple Smiley
Actually got a few all leather slings.
One really nice woven/braided one from a guy in sweden I believe I swapped for a box of hardwood scales.
And a really small thin one - possibly from lithunia, although that might have been someone else.

The best one piece is from tomas Smiley
But then the guys a serious learther worker - so what else would you expect Smiley

It's a real heavy duty beast too !

Awesome work Jauke. Thanks for sharing. I could see using that in a pinch. I bet it throws just fine.

It looks perfect to me. I would use a sling like that.

I agree and I should know because I own one of his all-leather slings Cheesy Amazing workmanship. It's easily one of the prettiest slings I own although I haven't used it as much as I should. I'll have to take it out again sometime.

Just realised you made your sling from a leather belt (just spotted the buckle holes).

Clever !
And if there were any charity shops open at the moment, also really cheap. Thumbs Up

why, why do Balearic slings have the fingerloop twisted  ?


I haven't tried the fingerloop design shown above, but the way I see it, it would cause the retention cord to be twisted slightly when in a loaded state (the way I hold a sling anyway). To me, the Balearic finger-loop design also works against unwanted twisting. I don't know if I'm understanding correctly, but I don't see any issue with the latter design.

I agree, the finger loop should be the same as a Balearic.
Allows a lot more control of spin angle. The ridgidity of the cords stop the twisting but the finger loop defines the zero point.

Always liked the look of all leather slings and pretty likely a early design in history.
