the handle is big enough to hold mate,the chain has the same practicality as those on the welsh love spoons! lol
heres the catty finished ,minus the bands of course!
i stained it a Jacobean oak colour,then waxed it,once buffed it took on a nice patina,i am quite interested in this form of catapult,i could expand a bit like the welsh love spoons to become an art form in its self,my next project will be a ball in a cage in the handle of a catty.
