I think I'd just wind up hurting myself with those.

Is the stone clubs head original?

No - I pecked the groove into both the stone heads (river cobbles I found locally). If you're looking for a tedious project, peck a groove in a river cobble. The unhafted stone head once had a handle and was used to pound sinew for bows - I will replace the handle eventually.
The club with the red handle has a head made from a chunk of slate I brought home from a local deposit.

I can only imagine, knapping flint is hard enough!
The primitive stonework is a true artform.

It takes a certain amount of finesse to get it right. You have my respect for accomplishing a groove in river cobble! Nice work!!! |

I did the pecking/grinding the traditional way - with a river cobble (hammerstone) that was somewhat harder than the pecked stone. It is a very slow process.
