WOW Paleoarts. I really like the grip on the first one from the left. And it just so happens I have a piece of fire-killed juniper waiting for a purpose!

OK, a few questions.

First, Paleoarts, what is the third one from the left made from?
Second, Morningstar, how did you add more than one picture to your post? Is it just HTML coding?

Here is my atlatl. It still needs a banner and bannerstone added, along with finger loops. It's made from the last piece of oak flooring I had from our old house (destroyed by fire), and a piece of pine left over from the framework of our new house. THe hook is some more oak flooring and a piece of laminate flooring from our new house. I coated the end of the hook with super glue to keep it from wearing out so fast. I cheated and mimicked Atlatl Bob's "Warrior" model (http://www.atlatl.com/warrior.html) and weighted the handle with a piece of rebar left over from building our front porch. The whole thing is about 18 inches long.

Which gives:

I'll go with a bone spur, right handed  

[EDIT]

This is a link to a build-along thread I did during the making of that branch atlatl: http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/topic/22311

Nah, make it now all in one go and oil it up when you are done. Primitive woodwork, even bow making was done with wood either fresh off the tree or dried a bit over hot coals. Its a living material - work with the way it works, dont bake it into submission.
