Finished tomahawk
« on: February 01, 2016, 02:15:30 pm »
I finally got around to finishing this hawk project. Used black locust for the handle and rawhide for the wraps. The artwork came from some images I got from G.









God Bless!

Real nice, Scott.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

That thing looks “real”, and “real wicked”! Nice authentic design with excellent knapping and symmetry. The grain orientation on the handle is just right too; no worries about splitting.  H.

Thanks guys. I have an old wampum belt that was passed down in my family and it has the same basic design on it. I love the feel of the hawk in the hand, really stirs the blood in a primal way.  >:D :o

That is one bad ass looking Hawk!  Just curios, how did you create the space for the blade to fit in the handle?

I made a stone drill and made a couple divots. Then used coal and cane tubes to blow (char) the hole bigger and smoother till the blade fit just right...

Actually, I used an electric drill and a pocket knife.  >:D
