Very nice! I've got an old .54 barrel that would look good as a tomahawk head I think. Lacking the skills to produce one from it though I am planning on cutting it short to 22 inches and make a .54 carbine.Mark Lewis said:Here's a tomahawk made from a gun barrel.

There are groups of knifemakers, and Blacksmiths all over the country that have regular meetings, where they invite interested members of the public to try their hand at the forge, and anvil. The are lots of good, used tools, and equipment out there to buy to get you started, and plenty of folks willing to help you learn.
