Here is something a little different. Not fine art but perhaps folk art.

Just finished this eastern woodlands style war club with a beaver/beaver trapping theme.

Club carved with a knife from American hornbeam (ironwood) stained and aged, hand stiched handle wrap made from beaver tail, antler striker, lanyard with strips of beaver tail leather and beaver teeth.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

I used to know a Canadian RCMP who collected such stuff. He had a club a lot like that but there were human teeth imbeded in it. The teeth weren't ornamental they were from someones mouth...must have been a horrible blow.

I know a guy who served in the New Zealand SAS in Vietnam. He says his favourite weapons were the bren gun and the Maori War Club. I don't think he was joking!

Thanks for the comments. Here is another simple one of my own design that I whittled out of black locust with a pocket knife. Very hard wood to work with!

Not a historically correct form but certainly would do the job.
