Show here your Greek warrior impression

Also,i'd suggest replacing your spear shaft for something considerably thinner. An inch thick would be ok. Khaire

While I could go thinner, I've found various references that the dory shaft was anywhere from 1in to 2in in diameter. So while mine is at the upper limit, it would be within that range.

Now I could see in later years (Pel. War) when the state was issueing weapons or armor you'd start to see a more uniform standard, but the farther back you go and the more remote an area, you'd get more personal perferences toss'd into the mix. Some guy with big hands is going to want a larger diameter and small hands smaller.

Heck if modern day products can't always hit a uniform definition of size (try on 5 pairs of size 11 shoes and you'll probably get 5 different fits), I can't see where they could do it back in Ancient Greece.

And while I do need to continue to shape my spear head; I think of it as a work in progress, I didn't find any thing to complain about how the shaft felt in my hand so I'll mark it as a keeper.
