A new smoak axe.......

[LaBonte]

The head for this one was hand-forged by Stuart Willis www.swillisforge.com -
I've worked with some fine smiths over the years and I can unequivocably say that if you are looking for a tomawhawk/pipehawk Stuart does a FANTASTIC! job ..........
The rest is by me - an eastern axe goes west: a super fine curly maple handle, with brass fittings, a rawhide grip, antler end plug and mouthpiece, a bit of beadwork, and a horse tail hair "drop".......

Sweeeeeeeeeeet, both of your work is excellent, the forgeing and the handle/stem. Most won't begin to appreciate the hand work in such a project!

Well Labonte, since that's so danged ugly, I guess I'll just have to confiscate it and Stumblinwolfs ungly horn and hide them from public eye. You could borrow it when ya wanted to but I could hide it for ya. OK? :grin:
