Title: spiked head knocker
Post by: beowulf on March 24, 2022
plain jane maple , nothing fancy , and fairly lite just over 18 inches in length with a 3 inch diameter ball and a 3 1/4 inch spike , decorated with a scalp lock ! this one has some worm damage to the wood , nothing serious , just enough to give it that " old. been around a long time " look  the spike is made from a very old bit with a heavy square shank , it`s set pretty good , and even if this thing was used for the intended purpose would hold up , scalp is wig hair , and deer skin with a sinew wrap !

It sure looks lethal. I know some politicians I'd like to use it on but I'll just vote instead.  slap

I just have to make myself one of those.  But due to my somewhat "smaller" stature and arthritic hands I prefer smaller knockers.   (susp)
