Lord, don't let my wife get her hands on that, her Dakota blood might get stirred up! Really yours is a nice job from scratch. Say, I believe Muzzleloader Builder's Supply used to have roughed out 'precarved' war clubs you could modify/finish yourself, in rock maple; Maybe it was somebody else; I hate getting old. Can't remember anything; surely I didn't drink that much whiskey in my misspent youth! LOL! P.S. what about a spike for penetration as well as blunt trauma? (I've been told by warriors that the spike can hang up in a head, like a tomahawk, and slow down it's removal, causing sometimes fatal delay for the user dealing with multiple opponents; the blunt trauma ball does not and is therefore faster in action.) Thanks for sharing! George.
