Askew
John McDouall Stuart
I've been starting to research a bit about Aboriginal tools, and thinking about making some. So when I was clearing some weeds recently I kept a piece of appropriate size and made this. The names I'm aware of are nulla nulla, waddy, and buundi. They were used for hunting and fighting, the point could be used for digging, and I'm sure there are other uses. It should be clear that I'm far from being very knowledgeable here.

I carved this with a hatchet and crooked knife, and should probably fire harden it. It does a good job of hitting things, seems to work well for digging but want to wait till the woods dried out a bit more before doing too much.
If anyone knows more about these I'd love to hear about it.
