B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Had these blanks cut out by a mate and recieved them back today. Theyre different woods, different finishes and different thicknesses. These will be rough and tough, fling in your pocket, every day use catapults. I will be trying out a few different band attachments, bands and finishes on these. Will also be giving one to a friend for him to use Hopefully will post back when theyre finished. Thanks for looking Edited January 24, 2013 by Blue Pocket Rocket Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Bit of work on them today. One is finished and ones just needing the band grooves fitted. Just being treated then will have the bands fitted. A nice little catapult. Basic tools as always. I could do great things with a dremmel y Edited January 25, 2013 by Blue Pocket Rocket Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Finished tonight and banded up. The darker one is such a nice catty and the grain looks unreal! But its slightly too thick for my hands so the lighter colour is much more comfortable for me to shoot. Very pleased with these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Heres the thicker one on the left of the first pictures. Finger and thumb grooves with hand grooves on the back. Took it out today when i was walking the dogs with a file and some sandpaper and done some work. It just needed the band groives which are in now and its being treated with teak oil. It looks great. Still not sure what wood it is though? Will stick up the finished fork once its complete and banded 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
