Hello Tom, I must get back to what I am trying to illustrate.Which is that not every curved,bowed or kinked spear is warped.I have been looking to show more pictures of said spears in use, from South Africa in particular,but have no more at home.I will look in town tomrrow and when I find them you will be the first to see them.I know it is right about wood drying out and bending but next time one lays eyes on a warped spear remember like the song <it aint necessarily so>.With Freddy's pictures, is it not a bit like me still believing that I have hair ?

The people in the picture, the source says,Luo warriors western Kenya.In the meantime look at this really nice spear.Tim
