I hate my computer and I don't think it likes me very much either. Pic

Wally, well i think I would have to argue that maybe you are an artisan ;) How does that bison head atlatl throw? I would also like to see your darts! Nice stuff!

No really I'm not at all skilled. I've seen some excellent pieces on this web site. I really just fiddle about.
I can't find woomera from W.Australia so here is a pic from e bay.
My darts/spears are nothing special. I've seen the aboriginal ones and they upto 10 ft long bits of straightish hardwood, no fletching on!
Mine are usually from beech shoots or sometimes bamboo. We've got wild bamboo at our archery club grows 12 ft high. Good for arrows or spears.
I'll post pics of spears soon

Hi thanks for your concern. Out of hospital but still feel rough as a badger's ass.
Will be out in my shed soon enough though. Any one got more Atlatl's to show?

Yaya im working on a couple of atlatl's myself.  I work in a woodshop so i have the luxury of getting ahold of some exotic and domestic woods.  Got some cherry atlatls started that i think the structure of the grain with my badass carving skills (ha) Also would like to play around with a couple different species of wood and variations and possibly even a laminated atlatl (hmmm hope u beat me to it cause its gonna be nice)  anyways u guys keep posting and building!
