My first pipe Hawk

[Sam Salvati]

Waiting some extra hours for steel delivery, i tried my hand at a wrap and weld pipe hawk. Hawk body is mild steel with a rr track moustache clip insert, the bowl is mild steel. Bowl is press fit for now, will silver solder it before fitting the handle. Gonna pick up a predrilled curly maple. A very cool project, had alot of fun, will definitely do it again, was very easy wrapping around the drift then welding, instead of trying to drift afterwards. Never made a successful wrap and weld hawk til now, nor pipe hawk.

2.5 hours start to finish head no handle.

Mace pointed out the difference in finish of bowl and head, I will fire scale the bowl a little better before fitting too.

That is really sweeeeeeeet Sam! You turned the bowl on a lathe, I am assuming? Next time take some pics through out the process, I want to learn more about making one of these!
