Hello all,
have not posted anything in a loooooooooong time. Mostly because I have not finished a bow in years (some are in the making...)
Have made lots of other stuff, and thought you might like this here: it's a replica of a ball-headed warclub of the Algonquin. Well, almost a replica. Has features of other eastern woodland clubs that worked better with the piece of ash that I used.
Kind of difficult to take good pictures of this. Will try for better ones later...
Hope you like it!

PS: the sculp curl is hair of a Japanese lady friend of mine...

This is in the making right now:
Chingachgoog's gunstock warclub from the Last Of The Mohicans movie in the measurements of the original.
-
Those are pretty cool.
-
They are very cool! 8) :OK )P(
-
Love the warclub
the scar in the cheek add even more character )P(
-
Is the warclub carved from one piece or how did you attach the ball?
-
Thanks all!
@GlisGlis: yes, the scar is really cool, like that a lot.
@DC: yes, one piece. The stem grew more or less horizontal, had been cut long time ago and a shot grew out of it. Stem became the head, shot became the handle.

very nice!
I have been wanting to make a gunstock club.
-
Remember seeing one similar to that ball club at the Heye museum in NYC sometime in the 60s. You did good.
-
Well done )P(
