Spike tomahawk with Weeping heart

[Andrew smith]

Here is a spike hawk I just finished, forged from a 24oz ball peen hammer. This is the first hawk that I made with a weeping heart cut-out. I drilled 2 holes that slightly over lapped and then filed the rest.

On the sheath and the leather wrap on the handle has a sort of different border. I was using a drill press to drill the holes on the leather wrap to sew it. The leather was still slightly damp and I had a wooden block on my drill press and it made a lot of small, triangle-shaped indentions on the leather and I kinda liked it so I took the corner of a file and just angled it and made a border on the sheath with it. I hope ya'll like it. The button on he hawk is a slice of elk antler.

Thanks for the compliments.

I have not timed it exactly but It takes something around 6-7 hours if I don't start daydreaming or anything :grin:

That is 6-7 hours of actual work, I forgot to mention that there is time when I don't do anything like when I am annealing and heat-treating the hawk, waiting for stain or sealer to dry on the leather and the handle and just things like that.
