throwing/camp hawk
« on: July 02, 2018, 04:15:15 pm »
Dylan and I worked a trade last winter. He made a very nice hawk at his forge and whittled down a maple handle to fit it at the Classic. Today I thought I'd dress it up a bit so I used brass tacks to make the star burst of either side of the handle and added finger grooves along the handle then stained the handle with medium brown leather dye after which I rubbed it down with turpentine and then linseed oil.
 This afternoon I made a sheath for the hawk with a shoulder strap. Here are a few pics...

That would be worth it's weight in camp.  Probably could get it skinned down to an edge good enough to whittle toothpicks for after the evening meal, too!

Dylan gets most of the credit. He forged the hawk from tool steel,you'll have to ask him what, and drifted the eye instead of forge welding then spent a day carving and and fitting the head at the Classic.

That is a nice hawk blade.Deserves a handle like that.The sheath is a very nice added touch to boot.
