Was looking the other day for some ideas on tomahawk styles. haven't seen any posted here in a while that I can remember, but knew that some of yall had to have some great looking hawks.

Man not a lot of hits on this one aye? ;D. 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 :o

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!

Some historical items below. Not tomahawks but similar. I'll try to locate some pictures I've seen of war clubs with stone "spikes".
-
sorry knapper - you are gonna have to wait til I get back from Oregon to see the hawks I just put in the gift shop. I will post the pics when i get back.
-
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

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.
-
Round Two - these are the ones I made for the Museum Gift Shop

Those hawks are nice, and that war club is viscous!! >:D That will do some damage. Thanks for showing.

Not sure what this is…it was found in lower Alabama. But whatever it was used for it was authentic.

Kinda looks like a buffalo effigy to me.

Ben...is that point tied down with something and then covered with some sort of resin? Beautiful as always sir.

Medicinewheel- someone else mentioned that too me as well. Does that mean it would have been used for ceremonies?
