On occasion, a speargun emerges while I create sawdust. 54"/137cm LOA, band stretch of a 120cm gun, but shorter due to the reverse trigger and shaft pins. Abellan Mechanism, Tin Man handle, titanium pushrod (lightness for the trigger return). It's a 3 vertical laminate Sapele Mahogany blank with a teak oil finish. This gun is a partner to my Abellan Denton 120, pictured alongside. It uses the same shaft, same mech, and bands. The only difference is that it's a midhandle. Because the bands and shaft are interchangeable, you'll always have a spare on the boat! If the vis worsens, use the mid, better use the rear. The distance from the handle to the tip is equivalent to a 80cm euro. This is the 5th gun I've made and the first one where I really think I did it right. Its tapered on both sides and on the bottom to make the muzzle thinner; I was trying to make the gun less bulky. The only mistake I made was during the shaping with the 1/2" roundover bit on the sides. I didn't realize that the roller for the routerbit went through the band slot. Fortunately, I had the router fence about 1/8th" off the bit, so little damage. I sanded the area smooth and it looks intentional. It still needs ballasting, but the metal plate opens up to a cavity to add little lead weights (I cut open a lead weight pouch).
