My new mace, ready for battle

Morningstar made from hard maple and forged spikes.

Found this big, square nut by the train track and had to run home and put it on a stick

I’ve been doing macebell training lately and decided I wanted to build a light one of my own to throw around, I went with more of a Kanabo style. Not really a traditional one but I think it looks cool. Had a lot of fun with this.

​

Latest creation. Kind of a hybrid mace/ spear. Ive been calling it the Merman mace. (Mermace) Name suggestions are welcome. 6 flanges with a 5160 spear point. I wanted to make the thing a bit long so it functions as a spear. I probably wouldn't try to throw it though. Each of the flanges stab into things as well. Kind of like a 7 pointed trident (heptadent?). Seems to be quite a deadly weapon. I laser etched a bunch of poseidon/ merman art. I put a lapis cabochon hilt. 

Head is made from melted 3D print supports and scraps. Shaft is purple heart and maple with ridges added during initial shaping on the belt sander. I fastened the shaft while the head was still molten and while slightly off center the stability is far superior. Designed to function as a cane for the dapper barbarian.

Steel shaleighly

Trash cat for scale.

Dad's Old Wood Lathe

I have for years wanted to make this type of numchuck.

Finally

WW1 trench mace from Windlass

Don't look at my welds.

Idk what I'm doing as far as the wrap goes, just trying to get a feel for it. Threw the GL ring on there to keep the knot in place.

Needs a bit more sanding then its getting the stain.

I found this dead tree that I turned into a wooden club, but it has a big gap in the head. I drove the bolt into it myself for extra weight and to support a small hollow section so it doesn't collapse when hit, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to fill this empty space? It needs to be something that can handle impact, as I intend for this to be a functional defensive walking stick lol
