Title: First spear i made
Post by: yebon on November 02, 2013, 04:14:23 pm

I have had this done for a while i just forgot to put up some pics...not great but its my first one and i am not a craftsman..It is elm sapling that i cut down with a deer leg bone point hafted with rawhide and pine pitch glue.  handles are leather lace with rabbit fur and some feathers.  Any suggestions or criticisms welcome i plan on making more.  Thanks enjoy

Nicely done. Would really like to see a pic of the edge of the blade.

thanks for sharing

Id suggest a barb or 3 be added. As is, it will pull right back out and your fish will swim away. Still a cool project to undertake. Nice work.

Cool ,looks deadly to me,like Pearl said if I was going to use it for fishing I would put some barbs on it and seal the rawhide good also.  :)Nice work. :)
