No lathe needed, i’m thinking just shape with a sander/sandpaper. Good idea to score up the sides shaft material so the glue can get some bite. I’m going to give it a try, I will post up some pics. Also this gives me another use for all those slightly bent shafts Piled up in my closet

Good idea on using the slightly bent shafts! If you think about it, Polynesians have been using pointy sticks to kill fish for hundreds of years, so there's a lot of data out there on wood polespears!
