Hand forged 1065 head with a real pretty curly maple haft. Did a dyed buckskin wrap with Turks heads on the handle. The dye isn't totally dry yet. Still got a little bit more to do but its real close. Been forging on the head for at least 2 or 3 weeks. After heat treating it the first time the tip warped. After trying to fines the warp out I ended up breaking the tip off so I had to do some plastic surgery and give it a nose job.

Very cool Raymond.
Something I have been wondering about; how come you have two first names?

Will I be seeing you in April?

That came out really great Ray. I love handle wood and wrap as well.
