I made a Thumper today.

[Chingon1988]

Got to thinking last night how my current batton is on it's way out & I don't have any other big hardwood limbs laying aorund.

I thought up a general idea of what I wanted to make. All one solid piece of material for strength.

And well... that wild hair showed up in the morning, so I wrastled with it and made this.

Made it out of Indonesian Hardwood. Can't wait to buy a knew knife to test it out with ( hahahaha)

 

[Ironic]

That one should last you a while!

Haha that’s awesome! If I’m batoning at home, I just use a cheapo Harbor Freight orange shot mallet, does a pretty good job for cheap.

What kind of Indonesian wood? Looks a bit like Mahogany.

I think it may have the potential to last me...Forever! Here is my line of thought. After I bash the hell out of it, I can take it to the table saw...cut off the face of it ( the beat up part ) and glue on a new face. I'll do a different type of wood to add some contrast...most likely white oak or black walnut.

So I made this out of one of about 15 4x4 cut off's I aquired, they are all different colors of Indonesian hardwood....& I think you are correct! It probably is Mahogany...it is very heavy. I don't know for sure though.

What did you use to make it? It undoubtedly was not that knife.

 

[Ironic]

Looks like the Hammer of Thor.

That’s great! Yours is a bit more refined than mine.

I used a table saw to cut most of the material out of the 4x4...A drill press with a forstner bit for the finger grooves, & a router with a small and large roundover bit to finish the edges.

I clicked thinking you made a thumper from Dune… couldn’t figure out the real world application so this makes way more sense. LOL

I keep thinking Cookie Thumper (cause the pics) from DIe Antwoord. Even went over to watch the official vid, and considered posting it on the What song are you listening to? thread. Thankfully, I then thought better of it.
