Posts: 1993 oceanside, CA Gender:	Re: mayan war club Reply #5 - Sep 21^st, 2009 at 11:53am the recipe for pitch glue is pine resin, powdered charcoal, and powdered grass or dried animal dung. melt the pitch and add small amounts of the other two ingredients until you have the consistancy you want. awesome looking club, by the way!

Posts: 858 Gender:	Re: mayan war club Reply #14 - Mar 7^th, 2010 at 7:52pm im not sure what kind of stone it is.i found it at the river, but i imagine and kind would work as long as its non pourus. most of the shaping was done with a bench grinder. then i smoothed it out with other rocks and sandpaper
