A quick and short interruption to my running down my experiences at Pennsic for something that is totally awesome and will make your war kit look a 100% better.  I am not sure where he is getting them from, but Duke Logan of Atlantia and his household EbonWolfe have these spear shafts available.    They are awesome looking first of all, but beyond that you should go check out the video at the EbonWolfe armoury website where they are testing them.

The video is just funny and great and the very light editing that has been done leaves it even funnier.   Anyway, the shafts are fiberglass with a wood grain embedded in the surface.  It makes them look a LOT better.  Additionally, they are available in a slightly heavier version that, as evidenced by the video, makes them just a little bit harder to break.  They are also available in a regular wall thickness at a similar weight to a typical fiberglass spear shaft.

What is more, as we use fiberglass lances when tilting at the quintain on the equestrian side of things, I have inquired about getting 10′ lengths for such purposes.

UPDATE:  His Grace, Duke Logan has indicated he can make 10′ and 12′ lengths available, but would have to cut them down to ship (as the limit is apparently just under 9′.   However, I going to get some heavy and some for equestrian and I am seeing about if he is heading this way.  If I got enough interest I would even drive to Atlantia and pick them up.  I know several people might like to get them from here in the Midrealm, so let me know.
