A "WildWillis" Pipehawk........

[Wild Rose]

The head for this one was hand-forged by Stuart Willis - www.swillisforge.com -
I've worked with some fine smiths over the years and I can unequivocably say that if you are looking for a tomawhawk/pipehawk Stuart does a FANTASTIC! job ..........
The rest is by me - it was a nice break from my "regular: stuff : a super fine curly maple handle, with brass fittings, a rawhide grip, antler end plug and mouthpiece, a bit of beadwork, and a horse tail hair "drop".......

Wow! That's nice!

 

[John M Cohea]

Fantastic as usual Chuck. The carved rawhide is a nice touch. I'm gonna have to give that a try one day.Stu's head looks great too. He is another who's work I admire.

 

[InfidelShootist]

Damn that's nice.
I just watched "The Patriot" again last night.
Now I see this,is it an omen of Tomahawks to come?

 

[RogerP]

I'd say that look absolutely terrific! Are you going to do any kind of a slip cover for the head?

Stuart did a superb job on the head, and so did you on the rest.

 

[xaman]

That looks great!

I have one of Stuart's spike hawks, and it's a really well done piece. Your embellishments send it over the top.

VERY cool. Pipehawks are something i've always liked but so far don't have one.

Some day.

Howdy Roger - for this one no, but I do have an order for a hawk sheath and one day.......

Has it been smoked?

Not this one, but all I make are made to be smoked and I have smoked my own in the past, but generally leave the first smoke up to the owner
