Ty Murch Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hello, I'm wanting to make a gunstock indian club. I need the wood for the stock. Many woods will do. White oak, Red oak, Maple, Walnut, Hickory, Osage, and more. The size....well, big enough to get a gunstock from. Let me know if you have any please. Thanks, Tyler .

Wild Rose Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Sorry about not getting back with you sooner,I haven`t got any thing left that would work. Robert Give the guys at Dunlap a call_ I bought a piece of hardrock maple from them for $35.00 PPD and got two nice pieces out of it: Dunlap Woodcraft 14600F Flint Lee Rd Chantilly, VA 20151 dunlapwdcrafts@aol.com Tel. (703) 631.5147 Here's one of the pieces I made using that wood. Before it got "westernized" After it went west........ BTW - gunstock war clubs were NEVER made from gunstocks (way to thin and small) - some pretty good evidence in fact points to the style being in use BEFORE the Euros arrived and that the name got stuck to it after due to the resemblance......

Ty Murch Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 Thanks for looking, Robert. WR, that is a dang fine piece. The shape of the club is great, and the spike is cool. I'll give dunlap a call. Thanks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Keyes Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 You might also try these guys http://www.emersonhardwood.com/ They sell both domestic and exotics in lumber sizes, and they ship. Geoff "The worst day smithing is better than the best day working for someone else." I said that. If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly. - - -G. K. Chesterton So, just for the record: the fact that it does work still should not be taken as definitive proof that you are not crazy.

uhrs2 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) Hey guys, I found some gunstocks blocks "blanks" on ebay. What are the usual dimensions of the typical gunstock club? Is there a particular angle to the bend that I need to know about? It needs to be a functional weapon, so does it need to be very heavy, or relatively light? what the typical weight, length and thickness, is the blade wrapped in, or pinned?
