Heres a cable damascus hawk we made. 1" cable (from a mine's dragline) was welded into a flat billet then wrapped and welded. A patina'd steel cap was riveted on to the top of the hawk haft. Curly maple, acid burned and stained with leather dye. We tryed Ariels tutorial on makers mark and it works very well and is very easy. So all credit goes to him on the makers mark. Thanks by the way Sorry the pics aint perfect, I need to get a light box made for indoor pics.

Looking Good!!

I really like the curly maple finished that way.

That is one good looking hawk. I like the maker's mark. Where did you find that tutorial? Is it in the blueprints?
The file work on the hawk looks really good too.

love that cap on the top , would look awesome with something else up there too a ball or a spike maybe, i'll have to try that. really like the handle , just tops it all off. well done
