Hi, clever friends, I have a lot of Inuit painted up with open mittens, not yet holding spears. Copplestone's supplied barbed spears unfortunately look like fence poles in scale, much too THICK for my eye. Also, I have Eureka Hawaiians painted up, similarly with no good spears for them to hold. Hawaiian combat spears were made of single pieces of heavy wood, with two or three barbed blades, (one in front of another with gaps in between) carved at the 'business ends'.
I have tried filing grooves in florist's wire with zero success. Could you please give me some ideas of other ways to represent barbed heads on thin, more-in-scale spears?
I will be grateful.
Chick
