Just Finished a Trail Hawk Project...

Not the best picture, but this the one I did last spring.

Nice work, guys.

Glad you posted it here. One thing I'd think we'd see more of is customized machetes and CS hawks. Both are very inexpensive, and easy to get, IMO making them top choices to experiment with, and yet still have very functional tools.

Nice one! Did you make the bit cover? That looks slick.

Yes. I made it out of some scrap leather I had on hand. I put a spacer for the edge to protect it. I could use a thong to hold it tight.

Looks really good, I think I'm going to end up getting one of these one day. They look light enough that I would mind taking one along on some of my little journeys.

Matthew...question...when you said you rub the head with Mustard Patena and then a Vinegar Patena...what do you mean by that? I'm really ignorant of this process. What exactly did you do? What is Mustard Patena?
