They are lucets, small easily concealable slingshots that were used by Vikings during their clandestine missions.JPG40504 wrote:RE: Your avatar. What are they??????????????? Look like a cross between a sling shot and a fishing line 'holder'.
Err, make that tools used for cord making to fasten clothes as the zipper had yet to be invented.
While heading to the UP we stopped at the fiber festival in Allegan MI. Cathy saw these things for sale by folks who seem to prize them very highly. In true engineer fashion (cheap) I told her to save the $30 - $90 and that I could make one. These are the prototypes I made while visiting the workshop in the woods. One is made from locally harvested tamarack (pine) the other is maple.
