Our 16 yr. old son, Voodoo (nickname) the younger half of Church & Son and defiantly the smarter half, graduated High School and is starting a local Collage next week. He makes and sells Airsoft legal Tomahawks which have a hard leather wrap around blade. He told me he would like to have one of those "real steel" ones, through the haft, but I had to pretty it up some. This one is for him;
It is from a at least 100 yr. old plow, hot cut and filed, wrapped with rawhide thongs and pinned with wrought. The haft is Sweetgum, torched then scraped, with a rawhide wrap with beads on some brain tanned scraps, with a little fringe under the head. The blade cover is rawhide, the longest beaded thong wraps around the head to keep in place. Finished with homebrew dirt, grease and varnish. We are proud of the Voodoo, but don't tell him cause he already has the arrogant attitude of his Dad........Randy
