Spike Warhawk

I put this one together over the last few nights. The head is over 100 yr. old plow tip.
All that pitting is nature not mine. 7″ across with 2 1/2″ chopping edge. Hacksawed, hot cut,
forged on charcoal and quenched in water. Threw the haft held on with pine pitch and rawhide.
The haft was a Sweet Gum branch , drawfiled, oiled, toasted, scraped and waxed. No dye.
Rawhide wrap from some of my deer hide. A little fringe, beads and a hand rolled “snuff can tinkler” because I could.
I love the way the handle fits my hand on this one……Randy













AND, I had an e-mail asking about my pics and the setup of my “photo light box”
…trunk of a Geo…..Randy



And I really don't say this enough, LARGE thanks to Mr. John Cohea for resurrecting this great old style of 'hawk,
they are a ton of fun to make......

Oh yeah! Hawk Porn!!! Superbly executed

Thanks, Troy. Hope all is well.....

Randy, Randy, Randy,
WOW is what comes to my mind. WOW is defined as a sensational success you have definately created a WOW. :biggrin: Wade

The hawk looks great. Cool shape to the head. That antler ain't to shabby either. Is that a shed you picked up around the house?

Another great hawk, Randy. I was gonna ask about the shed too, looks like I need to get my butt over to zoo city.

Thanks Wade, I like WOW. and sensations....... any new creations from the soggy bottom?

Thanks Brother Grafton. It's a shed one of the guys from realjob brought me. It's a nice'un...afraid to cut it....
