C.S. Pipehawk to Pollhawk

That looks awesome!!!!! I wish I had the nerve to do that to mine. But me being new to all this, I'd have to have several to practice on.
 
Wow. Looks more like 2 1/2 buckets' worth of elbow grease to me!

I also love how you took that hole & turned it into a design element- love the star. Please update us when it's pewter filled.

That's a nice treatment to that stupid set screw hole
 
Thank you fellow hawkers for your comments. I was using JB Weld on my early hawk mods and then finishing with Brownell's Alumahyde II epoxy spray. I wanted to blue the metal but did not want the screw hole. So, after staring at the darn thing the idea came to me and out came the needle files. I am happy with the results. The star on the Pollhawk Is larger than the one I cut into my Spikehawk.

Finally completed the latest hawk of the new series. The Pollhawk Has a light patina and a slightly more defined pewter star. The haft is a medium toned straight grained piece of hickory finished in boiled linseed oil.
