carved hawthorn catapault for swap

[Landy_Dom]

As above - hand made by me from a lovely forked piece of hawthorn. I've tried to carve the handle into quite an ergonomic shape too. Includes a leather patch but the elastic tube has snapped so needs replacing. It's on the big side compared to a lot of catapaults I've seen.

After anything interesting - mainly want the catapault to go to a good home.

Sounds interesting... do you think it could take theraband gold elastic?

bear with me (cue camp growl and showing of claws)

I'll see if i can sort some

The two tips are narrowed with ball ends. I've attached the elastic using cable ties - that worked fine but there may be a better way? I imagine it would take pretty much any elastic - the ends are pretty universal and it's certainly strong enough - the hawthorn is rock hard now!

Thanks for the pic... it's more suited for solid or tube elastic so I'll pass thanks

Still available for any small trinkets you might care to offer?

I think it looks fine for all elastics, but personally I think the fork is a little high (too much torque on the wrist) I'll swap it for another catapult if you want, one of mine? Or anything else if you want to discuss? It would make a fine addition to my collection, and be a good place for me to start swapping ... ?

What you got to offer? I'm not after much

Goodness, I hadn't thought about it, I'll get back to you on that.
