My hawks got better

[Nowicki]

Spent last weekend with Mark Williams tweaking my head....The hawk head that is. Refined my driftin. Tweaked the profiles and played with the forging. Was a great relaxing weekend with a lot of learning shoved into a short time. I did the heat treat and finish when I got home. Don't be surprised to see more of these in the future.
Thanks again Mark and Deb for a wonderful weekend. Looking forward to the next one.

Larry, Hawks are a whole different ball game. Glad Mark was able to help you out. This one really turned out nice. I haven't made one in about a year now. Once that bug bits its hard to shake but its been pretty reluctant so far.

Not hard once you get someone to show you the tricks of the trade. I think I have the basics now....I just need 40 years of practice.....
