Troy Christianson Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I really mean it! Normalizing a hawk head. I'm getting addicted to these little guys. I had a chance to use my new Sam Salvati tongs on this one. Made holding on to it a whole lot easier. Thanks Sam!

clint c Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 That is a great looking hawk. I've tried a few and have yet to get the hang of it to my satisfaction. Yours has great lines and liek the rest, I can barely wait to see it finished. Clint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Luebke Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I second that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Salvati Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Very cool shape Troy!!! Glad you like the tongs Let not the swords of good and free men be reforged into plowshares, but may they rest in a place of honor; ready, well oiled and God willing unused. For if the price of peace becomes licking the boots of tyrants, then "To Arms!" I say, and may the fortunes of war smile upon patriots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
