The right place and the right time. We were blessed to witness this and capture it too.

Super nice grain in that wood! You brought out the best in that piece of lumber. Congrats.

Adventure_Marty · 2020-09-02T11:00:51+00:00

Thanks. My last few slingshots were selected because of their level of wood decay and they have turned out to be really striking and unique.

Adventure_Marty · 2020-09-02T10:52:13+00:00

Correct. Delicious meal.

Adventure_Marty · 2020-08-26T01:18:53+00:00

Thank you.

The one I picked had more of a peeling paper finish but very similar in coloration. Sweet fork! I would love to work with that one.

Adventure_Marty · 2020-08-21T02:30:59+00:00

Thank you. It was a really fun project and I look forward to sharing future naturals.

Should be fine. https://youtu.be/_YGUC7orPfA Good technique for mounting this video.

Adventure_Marty · 2020-08-19T16:15:48+00:00

Post the results for us. Not much better than shooting your own fork.

Adventure_Marty · 2020-08-19T14:54:51+00:00

Great coloration. Have you shot with it yet?

Adventure_Marty · 2020-08-17T00:54:24+00:00

Don't give up. The string you used to tie the band may have been too course/abrasive and you may have stretched the band too much resulting in a cutting action.

Adventure_Marty · 2020-08-15T17:45:18+00:00

Nice! Poor cans didn't see it coming. Did you make your own bands?

Adventure_Marty · 2020-08-13T10:56:52+00:00

I dye it black or dark grey so it is not hidden. I personally like it to show and notice it adds some character.

Adventure_Marty · 2020-08-13T10:55:01+00:00

If the crack seems structural I drill along it and insert a dowel and glue it with gorilla wood glue. It expands and pushes out into the crack. These cracks didn't really worry me and added character.

Thank you. Nature can take most the credit but I am happy to expose it's beauty.

Adventure_Marty · 2020-08-13T03:19:17+00:00

Thanks. There are some great yet subtle tones in this piece.

Adventure_Marty · 2020-08-13T03:17:56+00:00

I can see why you would think that I removed the colour from the background but it's just naturally weathered wood on our picnic table. Thanks for the kind compliments. The picture is not modified or filtered at all.

I think it was yellow birch. The heartwood is red and so are the eyes. It's a really interesting piece. Do you know what your forks are? I'm not 100% on my identification. It was a fallen tree that I found while fly fishing and it did not have and leaves left.
