My sons 16th Birthday

[YosemiteBen]

My son's 16th Birthday is coming up in May.  My Daughter got a $2000 sweet 16 and well... My boy don't ask for much and I been looking at all the beautiful things you all have been making. I was wondering who would like to trade whatever I can come up with for a Hawk and holster? I do lots of obsidian work and some bead and leather work. I would be willing to serve as a personal tour guide should you get a chance to come to Yosemite. I am open to options. He is a good boy - got me beat by 30 lbs.  Let me know what y'all think. Thanks in advance.

i don't have the skills to help out unfortunately, but as a 17 year old boy, i think a hawk is a great gift idea  for him;)

I'm turning 16 in a month and would sure be happy to get that as a gift... Lucky kid... Good luck in your search.

Where are all of the forgers? I would really like some help in this venture. Let me know what you are looking for in trade and I will see what I can come up with.

i actually do forge things, but my skills are not up to the level to do a hawk, especially on that woul;d hold an edge, still havent got the whole tempering thing down

Hey Ben, I haven't tried a hawk yet but I'd be happy to give it a shot.

Sounds like a sweet gift! You may want to check out paleoplanet if you dont have any luck here I belive they have a section dedicated to forging. If you get one be sure and post pictures!

Jonathan if you do make one you should do a forge allong!

That's a cool video. I might have to try and make one.
