Title: New Hawk
Post by: Pappy on November 11, 2008, 06:33:57 am

I made this last week while I was off.I got the pre form for the head from Jesse just before he left,he told me to be careful or I would break it and I was.It turned out pretty good.I added an
Osage handle rapped with raw hide from a deer I killed,also on the strap Yot canines,horn tips
and Turkey spurs and beard from animals I have taken. It is going to be for a special person,
hope they like it.  :)
