Man not a lot of hits on this one aye?

. I made a hawk once but you'll have to see venisonburger about that one. The handle was a single piece of Osage worked to one ring in center, steamed, wrapped around hawk and tied. Turned out pretty cool.

Sounds cool. Thought with all the craftiness that goes on around here there would be plenty to look at. O well

Well not a tomahawk but here is a picture of a celt I made a couple years ago. Just no handle made yet. This was done with peck and grind technique.

I have a hawk that I finished this summer. The head was given to me by Steve Seabass and was made by KHalverson out of a railroad spike. The handle is 100 year old Juniper fence post embedded in a hippo ivory tooth. It has a small ivory seal tooth in the front end of the handle and has a turquoise bear clan design in the handle. Its a good thing I don't know how to post pictures on the web site, but I can send one by email if I have your email address. Mike Hawk Huston told me he liked it and that was a welcome compliment!

I posted this some time last year, but can't remember the post name. This was my first and was a fun build!

Some historical items below. Not tomahawks but similar. I'll try to locate some pictures I've seen of war clubs with stone "spikes".

Possible hafting configurations for corner tang knife. One looks like a classic tomahawk.

Very nice Stringman, that what I'm talking about nicely done. Thanks Patrick, like those clubs, the pic of the corner notch and hawk I like also. Can't wait to see what Ben has in store

Okee Dokee -
Back from VaKay! A day in the office. Time to catch up!

This will be in two posts at least.
One is what I call Neolithic meets Medieval. The other two look a little more Norse than anything else.
