i was at an old tractor day in saluda SC. the first sat. of this month there were 2 smiths from this guild there one had made a rr spike head in the shape of a cows head. the senior smith gave a buddy of mine the split head so he could try it. i was wondering if there would be any pictures of one to be able to be posted here as an idea for others -
