I used this method to make a "slashing spear"... it came out very nice and when I bring it out to fight with, everyone drools over it...

Here is something that Duke Ragnvaldr in Pentamere wrote up on making a split-rattan polearm.

This spear is awesome. Aidan has really made some exceptional weapons lately, and this one is as nice as any.
