Your nished product should look something like this. Hope you like it! This is a recent sling i
made for a friend.

If you dont know how to use one, there are TONS of vids on youtube to show you good
techniques. Im now able to hit a tree over 100 ft away thanks to youtube and practice!

A strap binder like you would find on luggage or a purse makes a easy jig for starting your weave just
run your cord around your jig (which should be clamped down) and your fingers to keep the cord from
crossing and to give you a free hand...
