Since I had the camera out, I decided to take some pictures of my spear.
Dad made three spears for Christmas 2012 and gave one to each of us boys. This spear has the same basic design as the ALS Spear - five-tine wishbone design. Because of the building process and the materials, no two spears are the same.
The handles and paint scheme are the most likely thing to change as dad has new ideas or gets a new tool (turning lathe, wood burning kit, etc.). The handle on this spear was turned and then torched to give it the black highlights and to bring out the oak grain.
