My first bodkins (pics)
DBernier:
Nice looking JD and Kviljo, good luck on finding an anvil. They are scarce and I mean scarce.

I've done some bladesmithing and I really enjoyed it. I made a nice knife and a tomahawk. I forgewelded the tomahawk using plain charcoal. It does get hot enough!! I have found melted metal in the bottom of my forge. I have made some arrowheads but I'm still learning to get the same size and weight for some consistency. ::)

p.s. I get so jealous when I see people forging. I need to get mine set back up.
Kviljo:
Got myself a nice 68kg /150# anvil yesterday ;D
It says 1917 on the side 8)
So I tried making this one:
Need to practise a bit more on those, hehe
D. Tiller:
Check out "Secrets of the English Warbow" It has some pictures in it on how those ones are made.

It's not too far off what you're aiming for Kviljo. I mean it's symetrical which must be very hard to achieve. And with a bit of grinding it might turn out OK.
I've never done any forging, so I'm only guessing here... but wouldn't repeated heating and hammering from various directions help to weld those bits together?
