Holey Hatchet finished
« on: December 05, 2016, 09:28:48 pm »
This idea has been bouncing around in my head for a while and I think it's finally time to do something about it.  This chunk of osage was from a stave that I gave to PatB.  He cut the knot off the end and made a nice sinew backed recurve out of the stave.  He saved the knot hole and gave it back to me.  I should be able to follow the grain around the knot hole similar to how you do it on a bow limb.  I think the handle will be just as strong as a normal one if I do it right. 






I'll have to steam bend it straight after I get it roughed out. 




I think this is the head that I'm going to put on it.  I've got some better ones but this is the cleanest.

Cool Clint. I knew you'd find a use. It was too cool of a knot to burn.  ;)

Good idea Clint.  I have been working on a set of three hatchets also lately, they are going to be Christmas gifts for my dad and my brothers.
I really like the idea of the hole though, that's gonna be really neat

That should be a family heirloom!

Thanks guys.  It's been slow progress today.  I've been doing some cleaning and other work.  I did cut off some excess wood on the bandsaw.
