Re: My Catapult
Good one au naturelle, are you going to make it pretty with whippings and varnish?

Re: My Catapult
Thanks fellas....
Loop, that was to be my next question actually.
To varnish or not to varnish?

Re: My Catapult
I would varnish and some subtle whippings, maybe in black to match the elastic etc.

Re: My Catapult
............... and just round of the ends slightly..........and instead of writing your name on it, I would engrave into the wood and then I think it would look even better but thats just me .......................... :think: now I want one

Re: My Catapult
Or how about a bit of pokerwork? I've got a hazel walking stick that I cut from a hedgerow in 1967 (anticipating old age??). When I got it home, I peeled off a small piece of bark near the top and burnt my name and the date into it with the point of a large nail that had been heated up on a gas ring.Loop Erimder wrote:and instead of writing your name on it, I would engrave into the wood and then I think it would look even better
Not terribly neat, but I like to think it has a certain rustic charm...

Re: My Catapult
If you engrave it with the initials PK and send it to me I will have a close look at it and give it a rating and send it back :think: :chuckle:

Re: My Catapult
Perhaps SK would be more appropriate?
