I don't know if anyone else has seen these but I saw something at the grocery store the other day that gave me an idea for a SCA weapon. Its called a Yoga Block. It's a block of very dense foam that is about 5" X 8". I thought about gettiing one since they only cost about $11, drilling a hole down the center, and make a hefty war hammer. The foam is dense enough where I doubt you will need any rigid material on the striking surface. They weight about 8-12oz.

Heres a pic, any thoughts?

That is what we ues for our halberd and other polearm heads works great.



You can kinda see some in this pic

Step one completed. I bought one from the grocery store because the ones they have are wider then the ones at Wal-Mart. Once I find myself a lenght of rattan I will construct the hammer, and post pics. It might take some time. The next event I plan of going too that might have a rattan vendor is gonna be next month. I am planning to make some tooled leather sides for it, one to cover up the logo of the yogo block, and second to add some weight to the head. Depending on what the local marshal says I might make some hardened leather claker plates for the striking surfaces, I think it would be a good idea since it will add more weight and protect the main body of the foam from tearing up.
