The Bamboo Lemur
on: October 17, 2013, 05:56:32 PM
I wanted to see if a dollar store bamboo cutting board could be made into something special. I present the bamboo Lemur! (because it can stand up on it's end).










[size=78%]











Single length of paracord wrapped into the frame.

I actually went "Uuuuu" :o when I saw the first pics. :D 

I like it better without the paracord though. Maybe only with the bottom wrist strap. :think:

How big are your hands? The palm width.

My palm width is around 3 5/8 inches across from top by thumb to bottom.  Why? :D

Than these frames will fit you nicely :) any smaller than 3.3 or so and it's too large of a slingshot.

That's why I've tried to name my slingshots after primates (the lemur is pushing it). The sound you make when you use it haahh oooOOOoooOOOoo.
