Kronckew's point about the quality of the binding is very relavent....but why is it there? It doesn't help re-inforce the head/shaft 'junction'

Seeing the examples of kujerung and their description in Stones I think the craftsmanship of yours is superior. The binding seems to have no functional use (with a throwing club) and the sharp taper would make it more difficult to throw with maximum force and accuracy.

A short club held to allow the 'point' to protrude makes sense, a club/stabber The binding acting as a grip when used as a stabbing implement.
