So a friend of mine wanted me to do some pyrography (wood burning) on an atlatl her grandfather made. She also needed the hook thingy at the end replaced, and wanted it all quezalcoatle themed. I think I may have gone overboard.

Long stick is long. Please forgive the potato.

Feather detail...it looked better unpainted, but no ragrets

The scales turned out pretty awesome, if i do say so myself

first time trying to leather wrap something. I'm gonna need more practice in the future

It's about 30" long, so not the biggest and not the smallest.

Wish I could've made some darts for it, but oh well.

cool stick, bro

that name has something to do with lightning right? My vast video game experience tells this, and nothing more.

Quezalcoatl was the feathered serpent god of the Aztecs, who brought maize (corn) to the people. And then his douchy brother got him 1/2

drunk and he had sex with either his sister or a priestess. Quetzal left in shame, on a raft of snakes. He returns at the end of the world

quetzalcoatl means plumed serpent and an atlatl is that stick thingy, it's used to hurl spears.

Quetzalcoatl was also related to the gods, god of wind I think, they associate it with lightning and thunder alot in the vidyas.
