Finished my Pipe Hawk
« on: April 14, 2011, 12:18:27 PM »
I've had this pipe hawk laying around for two years and finally got it done.  Filed and engraved the head when I got it and it sat long enough to get a good patina.  Completed the shaft between guns last month and made a deer antler stopper for the cleaning hole.  More ornamental than functional, but neat to have in my collection.  What ya think?

Thanks!

Haven't smoked it yet, not really a smoker but I'll give it a try one day.  I keep some pipe tobacco in the shop just because I like the smell of it, so I do have some on hand...

Very nice work. Did you do the engraving?  It is a delightful addition to a nice hawk.
