Any advice on hanging a big war club without putting any holes in it? Rather not hang it by a piece of rope either. I'd hate to use a big, ol' garage hook in the Bora Bora Basement but I don't want little Harry to have it fall on his head either. Or maybe steel hooks if I rusty them up first(?)

It is tricky. At Hale Tiki we had to attach stuff to the walls so it would not walk out, and make it pretty hard to see how it was hung. We had to wrap black wire around pieces and screw it to the wall that way. You screw the wire to the wall and then wrap the free end around the shaft and up over the end in the wall and then bring it down around it, if that makes sense. Done right, it gets the piece really close tothe wall and it will not come down. And it is just the bent wire holding in place, so it will come down pretty easy. No serious knots or anything.

Screw wire to wall, loose end down. Center spear shaft over screw. Wrap the wire up and around and bring it down behind the spear, and get it all snug. Then trun the wire back up so that it is wrapped around the wire where it comes out of the wall. Snip off the extra wire and bend it out of sight.
