[ToothPickle]

Hello all,

After browsing the forum for a while, I decided to give it a try at making a slingshot from a natural fork I get from a guava tree near my house. I've made it with just hand tools, a lot of sanding and tons of patience. Then, I finish it with Tru-Oil (an oil for gun stock finish I had from a previous project. It's made by Birchwood Casey, in case anyone is interested).
Now I just need some elastic bands to shoot with it!

Process:

Final piece:

Greetings from Brazil!

Good Lookin' fork! Real nice job on the carve out. I've been using Tru-Oil for a few months and I LOVE that stuff! Really easy, great looking and durable.

This is very nice work and beautifully finished! Excellent job!

The ergonomics you added to the handle look very secure and comfy.

I also like the blade-carved textures--guava looks like it behaves very well under a sharp edge.

Great work.

Very nicely shaped, ToothPickle. I really like the carve marks on the forks, great detail. Hm, everybody is using this Tru-Oil - I think I will give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
