I’d love to sit down and make some traditional style but all my ideas are just classics with a modern twist. I’d like to see one like your weaved version but with nylon or polyester fiber.
I mean after a few thousand years, I suspect nearly everything we make today is essentially a classic sling with modern materials, lol
I actually used
polypropylene twine to make
my latest one. Not quite nylon or polyester, but still totally synthetic materials. Just $5 gets me 3 slings, and I don't need to worry about it rotting!

Also, I see you have veg tanned leather. Did you, by chance, tan it yourself? I've been getting into tanning my deer hides.
That's awesome. I've never been much of a crafter, but leatherwork would definitely be my gateway drug.
Nice sling! Egyptian weaving scares me. Do you need to make your own jig for that?
