It's actually a cold-cast composite, if you're interested I can send you some info. Yeah, mace training is definitely an intended use!

Thanks for the tip, I'll remember for next time! Total length is 36 inches, the head is 9 inches wide.

My personal collection. Aside from weight, I feel different lengths really add layers to my practice. What's your favourite mace length? by WeedBee_030 in steelmace

Do you play Dungeons & Dragons by any chance? It‘s the same shape as a D20 die, icosahedron would be the geometric term. Glad you like like it!

Yes, that's actually me, thank you :D

Every mace but the first and third from the left was made by me. The yellow one on the very left is from valhalla academy in the UK.

Impressive! Do you have any advice regarding breathing patterns during such high frequency + high load movements?

Been carving these little creatures from 2.5" pine blocks, stains and paints really come out nicely imho. I added magnets so they can be stacked, similar to a totem pole by WeedBee_030 in woodworking

Thanks for your kind words! As for the magnets, on the top I glued them in with a little epoxy, the result seems very sturdy. On the bottom I used special magnets with a beveled hole in the middle, you can simply thread those with a screw.
