When it dried it was no longer curly.

Hope this helps.

You could try post whipping it.

Find a 2~4" round post, wood, metal doesn't matter. Nothing too rough or heavily abrasive. Take the sling & pass behind the post. how work it round the post by holding the ends, & see sawing it round the post a few times. Tension & how many passes will depend on you, start with "light" & 10. repeat or adjust as needed.

I break all slings in the way when new.

I soaked it in a large pot of hot water for roughly 20 minutes and then layed it flat on my patio and placed bricks on top of it and let it dry...

I may be old

My hair is gray

My skin is brown

As I work on my farm every day.

How is that for faded, Hoadie?

Plus I have Grandbabies to teach how to shoot.

Thinking about getting a horse or two. Get them Grandbabies to learn how to ride and shoot pigs in the saddle.

Can you ride?

Yes, but English style. It confuses the heck out of Western style trained horses!

Back in the day (when I was less wise, but more foolish) I had this thing about doing a cowboy trick. Hand rolling a cigarette while riding a horse (without a machine) , as I'd seen it done in movies. I must have spilled pounds of tobacco & reams of little pieces of paper all over the "Brecon Beacons", oops sorry, "Bannau Brycheiniog"!

Awh the good ole days, when we yougins sat around with lungs full of smoke and eyes a watering.  Brings a smile to my face.

Try that now and see what it`d get ya!

Sounds like a great time to remember. Thanks for sharing!

I'll never forget opening a bank A/C in Holland! You have to have one to do business there, & my first Dutch client went to his bank to set it up for me.

In England smoking "snout" (roll-ups) is a sign of poverty, cheapness, or having "done hard time at Her Majesties pleasure".

In Holland apparently tobacco isn't taxed, but "manufactured tobacco products" is heavily taxed, which is why so many dutch smoked pipes, or rolled their own. Sometimes with "pharmaceutical additives" included!

We're in the the Bank manager's office & he calmly produces a packet of 'baccy, some rolling papers, filter tips & a machine & offers them all round! It was most unusual to think you have an ex-felon for a bank manager!

Use to smoke a piles of tobacco leaves for home use in the second smoke house. Next the leaves where ground with a hand grinder. We packed the ground leaves in mason and produced enough to last a year.

Next we used order tobacco paper from Montgomery Ward.

My Pawpaw was cheap.

I still have the hand grinder and a mason jar full of seed. 

when i was 10 i did snitch a couple packs of my dads cigarettes' - that got me grounded and sick , 

i use masons to store my coffee beans till i grind them for each pot , i love the old flip lock tops - their nostalgic , 

i buy my ceegars and im a bit picky but not snobby nor extravagant , coming into that season soon , 

So Redman the moral to this discussion is to soak your twisted sling in a jar of cigar flavored honey, while twisting up a smoke from the hand cut tobacco you keep in a sealer jar at your grand parents place beside the deck of cards.

Hang your sling off the saddle and ride off into the sun set.
