May 27, 201214 yr Chris, your work is absolutely fantastic! I've seen a lot of R R Spike Hawks, but none so beautifully dressed. Thanks for posting this one too. I asked you a question regarding your technique in your pipe hawk post, but it was already answered here in this thread. Copper inlay too? Robert
