My first gun stock war club

(1/3) > >>

Josh:
Hey fellas sorry to have been away for so long, between work and my 1 year old daughter running around everywhere getting into everything I haven't had much time to do anything else.   :)

I had a little free time this past weekend and I had been researching gunstock war clubs so I decided to try my hand at crafting one.  It is hickory and the spike is made from an old edger blade.  I carved the hole where the spike fits to almost halfway through, coated the base of the spike in 2 ton epoxy, and then drove the spike into the club with a mallet.  So between the two ton epoxy and the spike being driven into the wood >2"  I dont think I have to worry about it coming out anytime soon!  ;D  After I put the spike in and before finish sanding/staining I did a "Beat Up My Workshop Garbage Can" test on it and needless to say I am in awe over the complete devastation this weapon is capable of... I definitely wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of it anyhow.   It is decorated with antiqued brass upholstery tacks too.  Hope yall like it.  Thanks for looking!   :) :)
