Crafting Craft

Shilah gathered his pieces. He set the pouch in front of him and them placed a piece of the leather cord on either side of the pouch. Picking up one of the leather strands he tied a knot in one end then repeated the process with the other. While he was willing to see how well the leather knots held up, knowing that the sling was going to be used with a fair amount of force in order to throw stones he opted to melt some pine pitch and reinforce the knots hold. As soon as the pitch dried he threaded the leather through and then tied and sealed another knot to make sure the cord didn't slip through and cause him to lose the pouch. He pulled the leather cords tight so that the leather pouch formed more of a pouch than a flat piece.

He took a quick break to rest his jaws, listening as Eir stated she was making a skull helmet. "That's looking good. Are you a warrior then?"

Shilah let the sling rest as he moved his attention back to the ammo. He picked up one of the stones and set it gently in the pouch to see how well it held. Not bad. Some of the stones were too big and he'd rather have one that was too small rather than too big so it wasn't constantly falling out of the patch. He continued this process until at last he had a set of ammo picked out for his sling.
