man these pics suck..sorry about that but the cam isnt the iphones best feature lol


i dont know how authintic this is or anything but it looks cool  ;D

on apocalypto they are a couple of clubs that look like a stone spear head lashed on the end of a handle so i came up with this design

the edge is  sharper than it looks and i actuly cut my finger on it (not bad 8-))

ta duh!

Epoxy mixed with charcoal powder comes out nice and black. Fine sandpaper takes the plasticky shine off. I use it on my atlatls.

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!

it looks so much better now..i found this wood putty thats stainable and i used it and more green stain. it looks good but ill remember the mixing charcoal with it next time

and i also need a few pitch sticks :-?

how'd you get those cut-outs? they're so uniform! man, you gotta post a video of your technique. (or at least give me the secret in private...he says wringing his hands)

the grooves are the same width as the bench grinders wheel  8-)

and after that i other river rocks and sandpaper to smoothen it

i edited the pics :)

Very nice! Looks deadly

Man there is a lot of talent on this forum.

thanks ;D

Looks pretty ouchy! I sure wouldn't want to get whacked with it!

i wanted to make one of these for a long time and was wondering what kind of stone would you use and how did you shape it

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  :)

Real Nice work Aztec, I never thought of working Stone on a bench grinder, You got my wheel's turning with this "Beauty", Thank's for sharing the picture's & Info.,
