Wow that's nice good job do you use a power hammer of some type?

Thanks for the kind words, No I dont use any power tools exsept for a drill, just hammers and files. Its a good workout

Great lookin hawk! :hatsoff:

 

That is awesome. Did you have much trouble drilling the smoke hole in the haft? Been wanting to try some pipe hawks, just been a little leery of managing to drill the hole straight.
