Carbon steel Warhawk

[John M Cohea]

Hi Guys, This is one I had at Blade this year and had Jim Cooper shoot.In case you missed it in his thread he Posted in the Custom and Handmade forum after the show, here it is. Haft is curly maple wrapped in rawide and finished in tung oil and is decorated with a few deerskin fringe, copper tacks, and antique trade beads. The headcover is rawhide over veg-tan, and has an antler crown, along with fringe, beads, tin cones, and a deer leg bone slider.The head is forged from a leaf spring, forge finished, and pinned with 4 steel pins undeneath the wrappings. I hope you like it!
