    even though it might look like a shark's tooth, it's a fossil. Its made out of stone, and they tend to have flaws inside that make them rather weak. I'm more surprised it survived for that long before cracking. These clubs were made after the introduction of western firearms and steel, so they would have probably had a steel point. I'm sure some were made with stone or antler though.

      That is my experience when working with fossils. Hard but brittle.

    Original gunstock war clubs were made of desert ironwood, it's a hardwood similar to Koa Wood and fine craftsmanship bro.

      I’ve worked with an iron wood species that was a gift from Israel. My poor bandsaw at the time didn’t have the hp to get through it 😅

      @@KoaStudio Haha, I'm sorry to hear that bro! The natives here used a southwest ironwood species but in hindsight. Trying to jab a bone tooth through a tropical hardwood tree wasn't a good idea lol. Have you've seen my trailer-hitch mace?

      they were also made from oak , maple , ash , redwood , and a few others ! all depended on where the maker lived ! desert ironwood was not available on the east coast !

    Can you use a deer tine as a replacement for the tooth? Several of these war clubs had such a thing on it.

    Real pretty, but I wouldn't use bone as the spike. We have steel now days.

      I’m aware 😅 make mostly weapons inspired by pacific island nations with some other indigenous influences 🤙

      Aloha! It was a fairly large tooth 😅 not sure yet what I want to do with the piece but I’ll keep that in mind! Thank you!

  • @daopaleo

    I think you should cut the tooth, dremel the root all out and glue another one in. This tooth had it's fair share of abuse ;)

    stone blades are not the way to go ! like the originals , use iron ,steel , or even brass , it`ll be historically correct , and tough !

      Very true 😜 this was a combination piece, inspired by the gunstock but made of Hawaiian Koa wood and a megalodon fossil 🤙

      Not really, I might try to mold it in epoxy and re shape it from there. You can sharpen it but it looks kinda weird.
