A new pipe hawk

[John M Cohea]

Been a while since I made one,so I decided to put this one together.

Okay,now that we've seen my crappy shot,we'll let Chuck Ward put it in perspective for us.

That's right, it's a mini! The head is 4 inches long and forged from 1/2" 5160 round bar.The haft is curly maple,and is 8" long.The mouth piece and cleanout plug is walrus ivory,and there is also a patterened copper band using a new technique.
I had been wanting to make one of these,and after getting Mike Draper's damascus ball peen,I was inspired to get it done.Thanks for looking,and thanks to Chuck for the great photo!
