@"Bruce", that's another nice one.

I love to golf. I golf typically 3-4 days a week after work and on the weekends.

Agreed! With the Opinel, you're becoming the Picasso of slingshots too!

An absolutely amazing assortment of aromatic acquisitions.

My other hobby is fountain pens and inks.



I enjoy using my fountain pens to write to friends worldwide.

I love your Esterbrook collection.

I've started to carve and make my own slingshot frames.  I'm just getting started, but am loving it.

Here are a few naturals as well as a few from Baltic Birch Plywood. Not a bad hobby when you can make 10 frames from a $3 piece of ply and some time.

Hey brucered I was wondering how your slingshot work was coming along? Any new pieces that you could share?

A few more have been made, I'll gather up some pics and maybe start a separate thread soon as some of my pics aren't showing up any longer.

Great - love to see you latest work!

I like saving pictures of dogs and other animals from the internet to my computer.
