Just wanted to let you know that I received the club last Saturday and I am very pleased with it. It's just what I wanted!

I lived in El Paso TX and Albuquerque NM for several years, and while Iwas there I became interested in the Apache nations. Over the years I collected a decent group of Apache weapon reproductions and items from that part of the country.

The one weapon I lacked was the club, and I had just about given up hope of finding one that I could afford. You solved that problem, and about all I can say is GREAT JOB!! Thanks again.

I think we can do some more business in the future.

4/20/12 update: This client commissioned a second, smaller version of the same war club and is considering having Larry make several more pieces for him. Upon receiving the second war club, the customer wrote:

Just wanted to let you know that the club arrived safely, and I am very pleased with it. I want to thank you for your good work and your willingness to work with me. I suppose that most of your customers want whatever you make to be highly finished and look like a fine museum piece. I want something that looks real and like it was used by real people in the real world. Again thanks for everything you've done; the pumpkins are going to get it now!

Just got into town after being away for a while. Opened the box and was completely in awe of the horn! What beautiful workmanship is exhibited in this piece. You are an artist! Thanks so very much.

This morning I was looking at the hawk makers on the RE Davis web site (where I am listed also) to see where I need to improve. I came across one of your hawks and clicked on your web site.

I could not believe how gifted and talented you are as an artist and creator of so many different subjects. Your creativity/originality and attention to detail are amazing. I have much room for improvement in so many areas.

Dan Winkler's work is and has been since 1996 an inspiration to me. Now your name and work have been added to the list as one the "best of the best."

I hope your business is hanging in there with this difficult economy.

Just received the horn, AWESOME!!!! The pictures you sent as it was being made don't compare to the finished product. I want to thank you so much, the primer and powder horn go together like a glove. Thanks again

I recieved the Magua Knife and it's awesome! It goes perfectly with the hawk. As you suggested, I'm using mineral oil for the blade... is there something I should put on the wooden handles to preserve them? Thanks so much for the knife and I'm looking forward to my next hawk or knife from you! Mineral oil works on the wood too. — Larry » view

I just received the Magua Tomahawk and it's absolutely beautiful! Once again, thanks for creating this hawk for me and please thank the blade smith for an awesome job as well. » view

Got here today, beautiful job, thanks Larry.

Larry, They look great! Thank you for the great work. » view

Larry, I received the tomahawk yesterday. I am very pleased so thanks again.

Got it today. Incredible knife! I saw a cribbage board on your web site that I may want to purchase. Can you sell it with a set of extra pegs (they always seem to get lost over time)? Let me know. Thanks. » view

Wanted to thank you Larry. I got the pendants and couldn't be happier :-D Thank you soooooooo much - these mean the world to me :-) I'll keep you in mind for any others I do.

Larry, It's obvious why The Gun Works wants your creations. I've not seen better. Please reserve the Japanese horn.

Mr. Gotkin, I just saw the photos of the finished Tanto. I am a former 82nd Airborne Recon Scout who served in Desert Shield and Desert Storm as part of 3rd Task Force 505th. I have never owned a custom knife like this. This is a proper soldier's knife and it is truly awesome! Thank you so much for such a beautiful work of art!!

Mr. Gotkin, I got the Tanto Friday afternoon. It got here safe and sound and is an awesome piece of work. The handle fits my hand perfectly and it has good weight. I reblasted the blade again to make it fresh then gave it a new coat of oil. Don't worry, I taped and wrapped the knife so nothing was touched except the blade. Everyone at my job was stunned by its beauty. Thank you so much for building an awesome Tanto.

Larry, The horn looks great; it's just what I wanted and personalized to boot. Can't wait to get it; I'm reworking my new .36 cal gun and this is the horn I'll be using. Thanks so much for your work and the quick turnaround. Do you have any business cards or info sheets with your email and address info in case I or someone else wants you to make another horn? Thanks again, it's a great looking horn and one I had a small part in owning.

The war club arrived today. Very nice craftsmanship. I'm sure my dad is going to love it for Christmas. Thank you again. Keep up the good work. » view

I received the salt and pepper horns today and I am very pleased with the finished product. Thank you for working with me from the idea to the completion of the thoughts, changes and a set of horns that anyone would be proud to own. I will put them to use at many events and will let everyone know who the maker was, hopefully, creating more projects for you. Thank you again and until another project comes to mind, be safe. » view

Hey Larry, they showed up today. They look amazing! Thank you very much for the excellent work, and for the pics of the progress. I intend to give my bud his hawk with the photos of its "birth". Thanks again Larry, I will def drop your name when people comment about it! » view
