Here are a few projects I've been doing while staying at home during this Covid-19 thing is going on...

I thought I had the pics turned the right way...sorry
The pic of the knife...Red oak handle, deer point finger guard, and some really bad forging on the blade (Repurposed steel).
The sheath has a formed rawhide inner shell wrapped with leather.
Nothing fancy, just bored out of my mind
The spear is my version of a Zulu war spear.
Thanks for looking...All criticisms welcome.

God, honor, country, bows, and guns.

Nice stuff, it is good to get some home projects done while sitting around by government fiat. Do you have more pics of the spear head? I am interested in how it is attached to the shaft.

I will post pics of the spear head after the rawhide has dried, I'm forming it to the blade right now.
The friend I made it for wants a sheath for the blade....
He wants to use it as a walking cane  ;D :o, and didn't want the blade to be so "Visible". I will wrap it with the same cow hide that is below the blade.
Well...what ever blows your skirt up...LOL  The things you will do for friends...….

Also this is a roughed-out tomahawk blade that I am working on. I'm not done with the shape yet, but gonna kinda resemble a hawk/eagle head shape.
Forming the handle over the hawk head to resemble the brow and embed turguoise for the eyes.

If anyone has better ideas I'm open to suggestions...
