If you use 21st century DIY to make a spear it's going to be breddy shit, but if you dig back in history to find lost technologies humans developed who needed wooden spears to survive they came-up with some breddy amazing shit that will make even just a sharpened wood stick deadly. Also note that although we think of spears as being relatively lightweight sticks, this cannot be the case with purely wooden spears. Without a metal or stone tip you need a heavy hardwood limb or the technology to really throw it like your life depends on it.
Check-out Daniel Beard's book "The American Boy's Handy Book", and other such things, to learn all about forgotten skills like the whipbow and the atlatl.
With the right technology and some practiced skills you can be deadly with sticks and stones.
