Iranian twining over sticks

Here is Yavar Shepherdslinger doing twining over sticks with wool:

I have two of his slings and they are wonderfully made.

Wow that was mezmerizing! Great video.

Interesting grip he's got on his release knot. I don't think I've ever seen anyone drape the cracker over the back of the hand instead of down through the palm. Seems like maybe it'll tend to whip your hand less often on release?

I have a sling from him too.  He definitely makes beautiful slings.

Certainly possible.  I need to try out the sling I got from him much more.  I've only thrown once with it, and thought 'This is too pretty to use'. Grin
I need to give it a good workout though.  His slings are very different from anything I use normally.
