Title: SPEARS
Post by: cawkazn on March 16, 2009, 03:13:16 am

Given the great workmanship I have seen by so many of you guys here on the website, I was wondering if any of you are into making spears, and am expecting some probably high quality ones you guys have made. Any pics would be great, thanks!

 I've only made a few but plan on doing some more. They are fun and great wall decor.  The blade on this one is 7 inches and is set with pine pitch,sinew wrapped and the rest adorned with snake skin, turkey feathers ans pheasant feathers. The ballance point is dead center of the offset handle wrap. ;)

That's a nice one, Keenan, looks like it would do some damage. I've made several atlatl darts, but never tried a serious thrusting/throwing spear.

They both look like they could put a serious hurtin' on something.  I am planning on making one just as soon as I can knap a point that big.

 Very nice Ryan,  I have found that sometimes my spears seem to catch the eye more then the bows .
