Dad’s rifle sling finished…

Dad’s custom rifle sling finished. Artwork is all pyrography (burning) featuring my dad’s “J.J.” insignia he signs his artwork with, custom tribal/totem style design, and large feathers and tons of stippling detail. Dyed in a “fade” with 3 different shades of brown. Wide design on top for comfort. Also last but not least, goat skin padding sewed in, and has a compression type setup for adjustment of sling eliminating the normal screw posts for easier use, better fit, and adjustment while hunting. I’m really proud of the way it turned out, and I hope my dad get’s many happy years of use out of his new sling! -Rob
