Now that I made you say that 3 times fast, I realy do have an inquiry. I came across a few nice pieces of iron and I wanted to attemp to make myself a replica spear to go with the rawhide shield I made last year. How are the blades attached to the shaft? I can tell the blade is tanged, but what actually secures the blade? Do they use some sort of glue, or is it the bindings? What kind of wood is the shaft made from?
