Thank you Rick, very good of you to respond so guickly.They are wonderful and I should imagine they are among your prize pieces.It is quite an achievement to make such long straight hafts. This is my Malay spear, just short of 5' made of a teak type of wood.Beautifully smooth and straight, with a little silver decoration.I am not that keen on silvery bit and bobs but it is quite pretty.There has been some fancy work on the blade and the best bit for me is the horn end.Tim
