I'm proud of how this came out.

I'd been looking for more thuddy impact tools, but everything I've found is either likely to cause permanent injury, or isn't mean enough. So I sanded off the finish on a "tire pressure checker" (aka a metal-cored hickory club), sewed together a tight, multi-layered leather wrap, used leatherworking glue on the body and edges, and twisted it on and let it dry.

The result is perfect, at least for my strength level: padded enough to be unlikely to really harm someone, but heavy and solid enough to feel it deep.
