Old school hawk head. Way old school.

This a stone hawk head that I inherited from my grandfather who found it on the family farm in Oklahoma. Here it is in profile next to my current favorite, the Tortorich cable hammer poll, for size comparison.

I guess getting the edge straight has never been easy!

That is a great piece of history! By the way, Jake rolls better than I do!!

Anyone know how they shaped these. I went to an Indian Artifact show today and saw quite a few of these. Many had groves in them for the handles. They're so smooth and perfectly shaped, I was wondering how they got them that way.
