tomahawk I finished recently

[anvil1231]

Here's one I made a couple of weeks ago. 5160 with walnut haft. Tried some decorating on this one.

 

[rocketmann]

very nice!!!!!!!!! Was the 5160 of the john deere variety??

 

[anvil1231]

Thanks Rocketmann, I am not sure if it was of the John Deere variety,but it was of the tractor variety.

Sweet looking hawk! I really like the rustic look it has. -Matt-

 

[shappa]

Very nice!
How did you get the color on the head?

 

[McAhron]

I think the walnut goes so well with this one

 

[anvil1231]

Shappa, I use gun bluing and browning then scotchbrite it back to the color I want.

SWEEEEEEEEEET !!!!!!!!

Makes my last one look like a amateur

Very nicely done,now let me ask you something.....How do you attach the feather?

Man, that makes me want to learn about browning for my next hawk! That looks really nice.

 

[Raymond Richard]

Well done hawk!

 

[anvil1231]

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Bruce the way I attach my feathers is I tie a knot about 3/4 inch down the end of the shaft and bend the shaft back over the knot then put a drop of super glue on just for extra security and slide the brass cone over knot and bent shaft and roll the cone tight.

That is sweet I'd love to know how you made the head of that I'd like to try and make my own tomahawk just don't know about how to go about it.

 

[shappa]

Thanks,
I would have never thought to layer the colors.

 

[Bruce Evans]

Thanks !
I will have to try that on a different Hawk...

Forging something I want to get in to but don't have the stuff to do it yet. I might get the video anyway for the day I do set up my forge. But that tomahawk is just a work of art even my wife thought so.

I believe I've bid on your hawks on e-bay. You do beautiful work. I hope someday to forge one myself. (got the forge and old ball peen hammer heads)
