Spring 2004 Pictures |
A pierced heart pipe tomahawk. An enjoyable hawk to make, but I don't make many of them. For those of you who recognize the denim, that is a
" plain work coat " from Gohn Brothers - they specialize in plain and Amish clothing.
A custom hawk. The bowl is interesting - the base of the bowl is integrally forged (one piece) with the head of the hawk, the rest of the bowl is bronze.
William Clark carried a pipe tomahawk with a bronze bowl on the expedition.
Spanish Cross pipe tomahawk. One of the more popular styles I make.
English Smoothbowl. This one went to my friend Aaron Riley at Severtech Knives. He makes a great tactical knife. Pip always tries to get in the picture...
A Singman Hammerpoll. I originally named this hawk after the customer that sketched the design with his order...I wonder if he ever came back to the site and noticed...
A Rifleman pipe tomahwk. This one went to a gentleman who owns a BBQ restaurant in Florida. If I could have taken payment in BBQ I would have...one of my weaknesses.
A plains peace pipe tomahawk. I loved this one. It went to Austrailia.
Your typical Patriot with more hammer marks left than usual.
A patriot with lots of engraving. The blade is engraved " Ssgt C " and the
handle sports two German silver ovals bearing " 17 Liberty 76" and " To your
arms soldier and feight " The latter is an inscription found on a tomahawk used
during the Revolutionary War. Went to Idaho.
A pretty cool Missouri War Hatchet. Lots of engraving. Merriwether Lewis really slammed the design in his journal but conceded that it was a very popular style. It is absolutely worthless as a weapon but is very important historically.
Hannah and Ryan at DeSoto Falls on Lookout Mountain near our hometown. Hannah
