More Hawk's

[Robby]

Modifying hawk heads is fun, relatively inexpensive, and satisfies the need to make things. This one was an English pattern with a pipe bowl. I made it into a pole ax and duded it up some.

It throws real nice too.

This one is my all time favorite pattern. It is cast from an original head, with rust pits and all. It looks pretty good just cleaned up but on this one I did the best I could to remove the cast in rust damage and forge marks without altering the character of the head. I think it has excellent lines.

The handle is ash. I is also an excellent throwing hawk.

Beautiful hawks.

Beautiful ! Did you acid etch the blades ?

 

[Antonio Ferraioli]

Great hawks. I need to practice a bit, mine look like crap but throw very well.

 

[Robby]

The blades were engraved and rust blued.

Outstanding! Very nice work.

Did you do the engraving and any additional shaping of the hawk heads?

 

[Robby]

Yes, I did the engraving. There was some minor reshaping of the head to keep proportions after altering the English pattern head and very little on the other one.
