i got the hawk fever

[Demonomaniac138]

dug out my old norse hawk and slapped on a hickory sledgehammer handle worked perfect. trying to decide if i should put paracord wrap on it. i know the head needs some work(i should have did it before i put the handle on ). this forum is great !!!!

That looks great as is. The only thing I would do is touch up the edge. Good job on the handle.

I like it! Use it a lot and let us know how your hafting method holds up!

bought a 40oz and got busy heres some updates

i added some grip to it,sharpened it and sanded for an aged look and a cord wrap. my wife says it looks goofy ,it needs a shorter handle but i like it .what do yall think?

 

[wildmanh]

Dude, it's awesome!! :thumbup: If that lower grip works for you, leave it. If you need help testing it, let me know.

"my wife says it looks goofy"

My wife says the same thing about all my wilderness tools. That's why I love her.

Look's Good, I like the work you did on the handle, I'll bet It'll work out great as a Camp Hawk/Cutting Wood with the longer handle,

the raw look is attractive too when it's done as well as this

Looks good. One extra thing I do is soak the end in linseed oil it swells the wood handle and seals it where it comes thru the eye. Seams to work good for me. Just rehandled a splittin maul last weekend...

Have you had a chance to use the hawk since you finished the mods? I want to see it chop some wood or what ever you come up with the chop. Thanks,

yeah ive hacked on an old tree and shaved a bunch of sticks. i cant get it to stick in the tree no matter how hard i swing,but for being so little and light it takes some good sized chunks out. ill try to see i can tear some stuff up and take a couple of pics.
