Hi Lew,
Nice looking club, any idea as to its age?

Hi Andy

Judging from the deep rich patina I would say 1850 but could be earlier. They used some type of stone tool to carve in the lines. Here is the link to my original post with some better pics.

Thanks for the link Lew, interesting stuff. These old clubs really are very well made, both as throwers and close in weapons.

We've attached pictures of our only Woomera, again an old one.
