Dan Scott Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Nice! The lashings look great with the hickory. What was the original length of the RR spike you used for the head? -Dan Corvus Forge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEzell Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I like that, has an aggressive shape to it. I'm guessing 2 spikes... very clever, I don't think I've seen that before.. Any pics of this one before handling? George Ezell, bladesmith" How much useful knowledge is lost by the scattered forms in which it is ushered to the world!

Any pics of this one before handling? Thanks GEzell. I only used 1 spike though I wish I had some experience welding. Sorry but all I have are final pics though I could make another. ~ Isaiah The extraordinary has never been achieved without the sacrifice of security. Take your chances thin, and take them often.

Kenon Rain. Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 you can turn them with two axis's.. just mark em, and move em.. makes it a bit of an oval that can be cleaned up by hand.. Old wood turners trick.. or, you could do it the easy way, turn it so that it tapers to a point lengthwise, and use a plane to make it the same thickness on one view (sides of handle) and hand finish it. Offer stands, but no worries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Finnigan Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I turn my hawk handles on a lathe round with a taper. Then buzz a thin strip off each side with the table saw. Then it just takes a few minutes on the belt sander to contour it to an oval. A rasp can also be used followed by a lot of hand sanding. Everything I need to know I learned from the people trapped in my basement. I'm out of my mind but feel free to leave a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
