OT: War clubs

[Ripper]

Hi all,
Sometime back someone posted a web-site that had blanks for making ball head war clubs in the pattern of the Eastern woodland peoples. The were similar to this one http://mountainspiritflutes.com/images/Regalia/Weapons/WarClub.htm
I thought I had it book marked but can’t find it now. Any help would be appreciated.

I do have several sites marked that others might find of interest:

Link to an Ithaca (home of the legendary Ithaca gun works), NY-based Irish stickfighting school.

Almsost every culture i can think of has some form of stick fighting. Kendo, and certain Western MA schools that fight with wooden swords in full contact are in essence stick fighting schools. Escrima, Arnis, quarterstaff, etc...
