Hafting a plains indian war club.

<< < (5/6) > >>

nature:
这是什么东西?what is this? 

tipi stuff:
A stone headed club?

medicinewheel:
Some of these original clubs look as if it was soapstone.
Is that so? Anyone know??

tipi stuff:
I think you can find them made of everything from soapstone to basalt. The soap stone would definitely be easier to work. Someone else made the one I own. It has a hardness comparable to marble.   Curtis

My grandpa told me that years ago that natives around here would stick the stone head in between a fork on a live tree, bind it, and let it grow around the head. Not an expediant method but effective nonetheless.
