Finished Club

[chingachgook]

Greetings All,

I just finished a club that I started after christmas and figured Id post some pictures of it in hope of some feeback from the masses. The club itself is maple and has two pewter bands inlayed just below the head. Let me know what ya'll think and thanks in advance.

Seriously, if you're gonna get smacked with something, why not get smacked by the very best? Such as a superb Ball club like this, or an Irish shillelagh. :grin:

But seriously......you have carved yourself up a work of art :thumbsup:

I was into making replica NA stuff quite few years ago, much of it museum quality and made out of period materials and methods I sold quite a bit in some galleries, I would give your club a 10.... nice work.

Very nice, what does it weigh?

 

[chingachgook]

I got the blank from Tiger hunt, this is basically what it looked like when i got it. As you can see I have the features drawn in.

Also I weighed the club at work yesterday and it balances out at about 1lb 3oz.

Thanks for all the good words from everyone.

I been looking for a ball club for a while. How long did it take for you to make it. What is the stain used. If I could get one it would look good at the reenactment at Guilford college. Mudd Turtle.

Mudd Turtle,

Id guess that I have about 15 or 20 hrs in the club, conservatively. The stain is my own concoction, a couple coats of danish oil mixed with woodburst permanant red stain, a coat of roofing tar that sat for about a week. Then about 20 coats of Potassium Permanganate.

Hey when is that Guilford event?? And what period is it?

Tnx and hope this helps.
