Making and throwing a woomera atlatl from scratch!

In this video I go out to the woods and turn a tree into a woomera atlatl, then throw with it! Throwing starts about 1:13:30 minutes in for those who dont care to watch the build.

Nice work Sir. Hello from England

[@adboroutdoor..7662]

Good job, good hunting tool and above all great fun, a return to the distant past (though not only, it is still used for hunting in various places). I also made one myself, though different, in the "Western" version, with a javelin rest. Pozdrawiam z Polski

What type of wood are you using

[@frogbear02]

I believe its some sort of locust wood! I'm not 100% though because it's similar, but not 100% the same as the honey locust I have outside my house. Maybe black locust?

[@josephbishopbackwoodssurvi3918]

Honey locust is pretty if you can get past all the thorns and find a straight piece

[@frogbear02]

@josephbishopbackwoodssurvi3918 yup! This one had a bit of a twist but that just made for a bit of an interesting colour gradient in th end. I've made.more accurate ones now though so I may revisit this in the future!

@@frogbear02 can you describe the leaf? Black and honey locust are both compound leaves, honey is bipinnately compound where black locust is simple pinnately compound. If you are zone 8 or warmer there could also be some planted acacias or other legumes.

Currently im in zone 4-5 boundary area in wisconsin, if that helps! ill have to check the leaves once they spring up, as they are all currently leaf-less though! thanks for the info =)@@oldwaysrisingfarm
