just finished this spiked club for a customer
it is a bit over 1 metre long and 200 mm in diameter
the spikes are 50 mm long and 25 mm thick
made of pine and stained with jarra stain
the little green box in the photos are a box of matches for size comparison
it weight a ton

Where is the giant that your customer wants to kill? :)

It is a nice turning exercice and perfect realization... strange though. Is it for a film?

Looks incredible ... and scary. Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that!

Good Work!

Now if you were to actually make one out of Jarra.. then you would have a weapon worthy of Conan the barbarian :D

You bet! Pine has a density around 450 kg/cu and Jarrah is around 820 kg/cu, so if the club were made from Jarrah (assuming my arithmetic is correct) you would be looking at over 27 kg :eek:

Unless you bored out a 20 dia hole in the middle three quarters of the way down.

When it comes to clubs, nothing beats a bit of iron bark.

Your club is too stout, needs to be a little longer, spikes are correct size though, many people make them a tad too small, they just break off when you drive into your intended intention.

Stick at it, let me know if I can offer any more advice.

G'Day Richard,

I don't know what sort of customers you have, (though seeing this little "tickler" I could make a guess), but I'd make sure I had blerry good locks on the doorshttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon10.gif

Cheers!

I had the other half (she works in a law firm) check out if I was liable and because he is a licenced weapons dealer I am not Liable.
Cant see a teenager carring it for too long.
