Thanks all.  I have started on a practice plate for the sling for MY Bolt gun.  I had been waiting for the pattern books from Joe Meling.  I have had three sessions on the practice piece to work on the oak leaves and acorns, but we are in the middle of a winter storm, and have two more days.  Our property is a sheet of ice and the boss won't let me out on the ice.  I'm unstable in good weather.  I can't use my chair to get out there, it's uphill.  THAT would be  a Winner on America's Funniest Home Videos.

Anyway, here's where the practice panel is so far.  It's a representation of the upper section of the carved portion of the sling.  MY sling will be black, so I dyed the border black.  Of course the sling will have 1/2" borders around the carved section.  I still have to antique and finish this panel.  I started posting a step by step of the practice panel in "Resources" as I had asked where to get a good pattern for the Oak Leaves and Acorns.  I felt it only fair once I got the pattern to share the outcome there.

If the finished panel works for me, I'll start on the sling.  If I think I need more practice... I'll do another practice piece before starting on the sling.  Wish me luck. :yeah:
