First Tomahawk!
« on: October 03, 2010, 07:51:41 PM »
I just finished making my first tomahawk!



I forged it out of a railroad spike.  Notice the hammer part is shaped like a heart.

Nice job Wally, but in my minds eye, I see a deer track where you've made a heart! Jest a little more carvin and it would look like a deer hoof. Can u imagine whacking something impressionable with it what kind of mark that would leave?  :shock:

Grayhunter the hart is so you can give them a love tap. Then turn the hawk around and brake his hart. ;)
