medieval Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Here are a couple of 'hawks I made. I enjoy forging as well as all types of metal work. One 'hawk was made from a rr spike using the spike head as the cutting edge of the 'hawk. It was hardened with superquench. Handle was made from a broken baseball bat (ash?) The other was reforged from a ball pein hammer. I reformed the eye with a mandrel I bought from Centaur Forge. Quenched in oil......tempered in the oven. I carved the handle from a branch off the cherry tree. ;)My wife teases me about cooking metal in the home oven.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecart Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Those are really good looking hawks. I like the rough finish. After 15 years of marriage, my wife has quit teasing and just shakes her head at my perceived weirdness nowadays. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I've already laid claim to our old kitchen stove that we are replacing with an older one this weekend---it has *2* ovens and one working burner so I can make hot tea in the shop whilst tempering different pieces!

oakwoodforge Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Nice Hawks I really Like the 2nd one allot ! Several years ago I bought a toaster oven at the 2nd hand store, it lives in the shop. The SWMBO never appreciated me walking into the house with smoking dripping metal objects wearing my dirty boots... I wonder why ?
