I like to do replicas of atlatls found in the archeological literature.  Here are some images of atlatls I have made. 

Finger loops first

male style spurs

All kinds of styles

atlatls with holes in the grip

Two atlatls with winged bannerstones.  The ones used on the atlatls are replicas.  however the one in the middle is a real artifact from Cape Girardeau county Missouri. 

Some more antler spur shots

Some of my favorites
