Native American War Clubs

[Sled]

Wish I never saw this thread - these things are beautiful. We had a storm that blew over hundreds of trees, roots sticking up everywhere. I'll be headed into the woods to find some warclub material for sure.

I have been researching on how to finish Tiger Maple to give it that old Kentucky rifle stock look seems like leather dyes and all sorts of concoctions are out there think I read them all including Aquafortis pretty complicated stuff. I'm gonna just try sanding thru grits 120 to 220 then multiple coats of boiled linseed oil a few weeks of dry time than some kind of sealer. Anybody have any other ideas please let me know a few more examples I found of similar clubs to what I have coming.

Wasn't sure were to post this thought I would try here over the last few days I've been looking for a good war club. The ball head variety sort of what Cold Steel offers but made of hard wood and functional. Found a few online and tried to order one but seems both vendor's are out of stock with lengthy waits before they get more. My question is does anybody know of a place were I could either buy one have somebody make one or even get a piece of wood and make one myself? Thanks in advance Rich

I been working on some Osage Orange, using a tomahawk to make this.The smaller piece is Osage Orange root, rock hard too. Still a lot of wood needs to be removed and handle shortened once the shape is finished.

This axe handle war club is Osage Orange,hand hewn with a tomahawk and swings fast like an axe handle,not heavy at all.

I forged the blade on this gunstock war club from a lawn mower blade.
Ammo cans don’t stand a chance!

Shorter warclubs are better for multiple strikes , the longer ones take too long to recover from a swing
