Are you going to have the hole visible from the top or the side? Good luck steaming it straight. Bending around knots gives me the willies :D

The hole will be going through the sides of the handle.  The growth rings will be going the same direction as the hatched head. 

It's slowly taking shape

I've made one throwing hawk handle Bill.  The one I have now already has a nice handle.

I got it all squared up and then rounded the edges.  It's really taking shape now.  I used a scraper to remove all the file marks and smooth it out for steam bending in the morning.  It feels good in the hand.  I hope I don't screw it up trying to straighten it.  I put a heavy coat of shellac on it as a temporary finish before the steam.  I'm waiting until after I straighten to shape the head end.  I want to make sure it makes it before I put in all that work to get a good fit.

I hope you guys don't mind me posting projects like this.  Doing a build-a-long and posting pictures motivates me to get things finished.

An hour is what I was thinking Bill.  The flat top on my little wood stove will finally come in handy tomorrow morning.

That sounds good....but I really think is going to take a couple of sessions...just don't force it.  But hell I know you'll do fine.

I would soak it in water for at least a day before steaming it

Looking good Clint, an of course we don't mind a build along, if fact as for me I love them. Making handles are lots of fun, time can really get away from you while working on them.  ;)
