Robert Mayo Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Well I finaly got time to finish the puff and chop as it was dubbed on another forum. The head was forged from wrought iron with a file bit in the wrapped method. O.A.L.is 24 1/2" and the head is 7" tall with a 3 1/2" bit. Cast in place pewter bands with pewter and antler mouthpiece.

Robert Mayo Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 i always wondered how you attach the bowl to the head of the tomahawk thanks in advance This one was hard silver soldered in but the bowl is often forged right on integraly or it can be threaded and tapped or it can be forge welded on. There are many ways to do it! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
