Split or Splintered wood weapons

I have been making weapons for years from splinters that form on trees because of ice or other storms tearing them down . they are incredibly sharp, strong, and useful. This Javolin is about 4 feet long.

Those splinters happen a lot with pines around here. You can also split them into very thin strips to make very good kindling.

they sure do make good kindling, and one or two of the selection is is worthy of making a weapon
