The spinal cord ends with the conus medularis. Nerves still exit from the spine below this level. In an embryonic infant, the spinal cord is the full length of the spine, but as the fetus develops, the spinal cord also develops to terminate in the L1/L2 region.See the links for more information.he spinal cord ends with the conus medularis.

Generally speaking, whatever we are asked to make though there's not huge amounts of of variety in wooden stakes. The fighting stake is our own design, we also do a tonfa like stake, a smallish hand stake, stakes that can be shot from crossbows and of course, the traditional straight stake.
The original stake had wooden tips and wasn't really very practical for long term use so we investigated a lot of Vampire legend and decided that it would be a good idea to use screw in tips made of pure silver. For good measure, and backed up by some legend, a proportion of the silver is from Holy Items.
