That's nice. I actually like this one better than your fancy hawk.

Hmm, you must be short on handles. This is the one from your fancy hawk. :wink:

:idunno: Nope I didn't like the shiny finish so I aged it Same hawk. Didn't remember that till you mentioned it

Well, it looks good either way. :thumbsup:

 

[newtewsmoke]

looks GREAT!!! use that purdy handle for show, another one for throwin, that way you wont be sick when it gets trashed! :wink:

 

[Rickey Brown]

I don't throw these. They are for show. I use some plain Crazy Crow ones for what little throwing I do. Messed my rotator cup up a few years back

Nice!

For show? What am I missing here? With all due respect, that hawk head is about as "plain" as it gets. Why not throw it?

I have never used a curly hawk handle, would hate to bugger somthing up....but does curly maple or ash stand up well to throwing? I spect them that got them woyldn't want to play handles with them.

 

[Rickey Brown]

Let me say this once more "I don't throw" get it I use it as a Tomahawk/period camp axe same as I make a fancy handled knife to USE not throw.

 

[Rickey Brown]

and I get the fancy curly maple for free as scraps

 

[Rifleman1776]

does curly maple or ash stand up well to throwing?

Curly maple, no. It just looks for an excuse to break. Look at a longrifle stock cross eyed with the barrel out, it will break.
Ash would be fine, as good as hickory.

That handle will not hold up well as a throwing hawk! :rotf:


In all seriousness, nice looking hawk for whatever it's used for.

[omarick1948]

So you have a guy make the hawk heads and you only make the handle and they are just for looking!

GOT IT! :shocked2:

Well, throwing IS using. If a hawk can't be thrown, it probably won't hold up to any serious use anyway. "Wall hanger".

 

[Rickey Brown]

I respectfully disagree my hawks have never let me down of course not many Shawnee to throw it at anymore but them pine stumps can be sneaky

 

[Rickey Brown]

Nope they are for using not throwing I prefer to keep mine for splitting deer pelvis, kindling and thick skulls

 

[Rickey Brown]

May I ask if you have an expensive fancy rifle? If so do you practice smashing skulls and using it as a club? I doubt it you use it as intended. Would that make the fancy gun a wallhanger? I'm not trying to be argumentative. I just posted photos of some hawks and knives. Then I was beset by others for it not being a "Throwing" hawk when I never claimed it was.
