Bruce, could you give us a progress report on the hawk gun. I can't wait to see the finished product!
 
Hey Peter. I dont have a pic but the barrel is bored, shortened, breech plugged, turned, tapered, flared, and octagoned. The muzzle is turned down to accept the axe head and the axe damascus (1000 layer) is done. Still pondering on how to forge out the cutting edge on the axe.

I talked to Chuck Bybee about the wood an he is going to send me an 8ft 2x4 of curly koa. He said to take it out of the middle and send the rest back!

Mitch Lum took a few shots at the oregon show. Maybe we can post them.
 
Yes. We're all dying to see it, Bruce. Thanks for the update.
 
I feel very fortunate to have been able to see the making of the hawk gun. All I can say is AWESOME!!!!! Hardly wait to see the finished product.

More like a hawk Cannon I would say :D I can put my finger in the hole :eek:
Bruce sure is ambitious for taking on a project like that. Not to mention the scheme he came up with to get it past customs.
