Working on a Rifle Sling

Recommended Posts

Working on a thumbhole sling. Ran out of steam tonight, will finish the grizzly in the morning.
The pattern is a Don Gonzalez that is modified.266561448_HalfTooled.thumb.jpg.c9876c5d833556f944fd01fa56b36971.jpg

Looks great. Awesome work. Looks nice. 

I hope someday my tooling gets that good. 

Beautiful work.

Man that bear really makes a statement! You nailed the overall flow of the design. What back ground tool did you use around the bear?

It looks to me a pebble back grounder, but I could be totally wrong.

Thank you, the backgrounder by the bear is from Sergey N. It is a sharper angular pebble type.

Beautiful tooling. Looks good. Very nice work.

What function does the hole in the middle of the strap fulfill?

Thank you, the hole give your thumb a place to go through and wrap your hand around the sling. Some say a little easier to sling the rifle.

Thanks. I wasn't familiar with that design aspect.
