Custom hawaiian sling

  • Hi, I am looking for someone who can build a custom hawaiian sling to my specs. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Hi Jason, I want a specific length of handle that lines up with my wrist also the hole to fit just the 1/4 spear as most holes also accommodate the 5/16th and give it too much play, also want a handle that I can replace the rubber easily on and dont need to restring. Want the notch to be of good size (unlike the small AB Biller notch that is tough to get a grip on.
    I know its a little anal but love it and beginning to get a handle on it and want something specific. have several trips planned in the next 5 weeks and wanted to get one customized mate!

  • Wow aresodin your fin in your picture looks invisible! Is it one of those OMER Millennium Ice blades?
    Anyways, I agree with Dan, unless you build it yourself, it will be hard to get it exactly right. But if you don't mind possible confusion, go ask a cabinet worker to help you. My diving partner, neighbor, and great friend is a general contractor who also owns a cabinet shop and lucky for me, he is an avid diver so me and him sit down every once in a while and crank out a new idea for a gun or what not and tackle it. He build great guns and I'm sure any experienced wood worker could do close to if not exactly what you want.
    Good Luck!

  • They are easy to make if you have access to a lathe. Not sure if he makes them for sale, but a guy by the user name "Powers" had some he posted on SB.

  • I have been meaning to do this for a while and have a few ideas. I could whip one out on my lathe for you. I have some nice chunks of burl wood to work with. Send me a PM with your thoughts/specs.
