Bloomery iron spear head forging process.

Recreation of the spear head from Ostrów Lednicki (Poland), cat. no. 51. Original find is partly corroded, welding lines are well visible, it was made using at least 4 pieces. To forge it i used 3 types of bloomery iron, low carbon, high phosforus and high carbon. Leaf surfaces are polished and etched.
Low C and high C material were smelted by me, high P was smelted by Adam Thiele: / @adamthiele703

Thanks for showing the source material! Very interesting how stark the differences in corrosion are between the welded pieces.

A reenactor's dream. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the right approach to the subject!

[@peterellison4946]

That was a very good explanation of the process, I really liked the graphics on the side that showed which piece of the process was being welded on.

You and Rowen Taylor should do a joint project. Your reproduction works are in the same vein. Great work.

His videos were a great inspiration for me when I started my blacksmithing journey.

It is no wonder that you both teach us and pass on your knowledge. Great work again! Cheers from downunda.@@officinaferraria

Could you make a video of making axe handles for your axes

[@officinaferraria]

O will think about it. Wood is not my favorite material.

beautiful work

[@alpeshsolanki3928]

Hii

[@barrysmith5005]

Great work very impressive but why so many layers/welds for a spear so long ago so much work ?

[@officinaferraria]

It's about aesthetic issues, but also about the availability of the material (hard high-carbon iron was more expensive, so it was used only for cutting edges).

[@therandomguy1315]

if you ever get the chance, you should come to the caherconnel furnace festival

[@officinaferraria]

I know this event. Maybe someday.
