Exactly what Caldou says, they are very simple and quick to make. Although, I like a slight bend in the river cane, (a form of bamboo that is native to North America) that will work nicely. Go to the Paleoplanet forum, scroll down to the World Atlatl Assoc. sub forum, it has several "how to" sub forums with lots of pictures, they range from a fully equipted woodworking shop to stone tools. And if you still want ideas, one of the mods, Basketmaker II has a signature link with lots of diagrams of some of the southwestern US original atlatls.
