One method that I use is to chisel a shape of the desired star 3/16ths of an inch deep into a large piece o hard wood. Preferable manzanita or seasoned oak. Fire harden the cast, the you guessed it, melt steel in a forge, if you have a lot of pine cones and a stockpile I the affore mentioned hard woods, smelt it yourself in a brick oven. Be very careful. Pour the molten metal into the cast and let stand till metal hardens, then use a standard screwdriver to chip out edges slightly, not too much you might want to re-use the cast, then I use a whetstone and a lot of vegetable oil to shape and sharpen the edges and tips. Good luck and be patient.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
