A hawk made from a high quaility farrier rasp (1095) folded and welded left with a forge finish..Hickory haft, not real pretty but makes one heck of a hawk ;) I like doing wrap and weld hawks. Sounds funny but it kinda feels "right" :thumbup:

taking something old and made it fresh, I LOVE the texture.

Back in the DAY, you know a good blacksmith used what ever they had to make something out of. :thumbup:

Hey Kentucky, thats pretty sweet! Mind if I ask; What are the specs? Thanks,

LOL, the beauty of that thing is that people do so much decorative file work and that one comes with it already done!

Great work!

There is a smith who does a lot fo woodwork that lives in or around Berea that was on The "Woodwrights" shop a season ago. Don Weber I think? Maybe you have heard of him..
