Thats an awesome piece. Got to handle it myself and it is amazing! Thanks Bill and Gary! That was alot of fun lurking the other day.
 
Thanks Bill That is a fine Hawk I got to see it along with Gary's Sword from the sword weekend. And the Hawk is super nice But the finish Gary put on the Sword was off the chart. I hope he gets done for Blade.
 
Nice hawk! I have a weakness for these, so I'll be watching this thread closely :)
 
As with all your work that I've seen in person, I'm sure this one is pristine perfect also but I cant enjoy that with these pictures. You should put a photographer on staff Bill. This hawk may be only 3" long too knowing you.
 
Thanks guys for the Undesereved compliments. I really would like to take credit for this But it was made BY GARY HOUSE. He said to thank everyone for the compliments.
 
I like it a lot Bill, I really have a love affair with beautiful maple handles, the pipe is fantastic too, mouth piece is user friendly also. great job!!!
 
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the comments. I am back from Bill Burkes. He helped make a sherasaya[sp?] for my japanese sword. The tomahawk has a 8.375 inch head, a 3 inch cutting edge and is 20" overall. Hope to post some sword pictures soon.
