Beautiful spear, Charles.

Interesting note on the wood type...I know that Kamagong is a prized weapon wood in the FMA. Reminds me of this article by James Goedkoop of Kingfisher Woodworks in which he had a interesting graph on the impact strength of different woods. I didn't see Kamagong wood aka Philippine iron wood listed.

FYI here is the article:
