Frosty Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Welcome aboard, glad to have you. I like it, very cool hawk.The eye may be a little narrow to make a good working hawk but it'd be a beautiful wall hanger if not. I think hanging it next to the shop rate sign sort of as a coat of arms over the motto, "Pay the BILL." or maybe "Bill Collector."Sorry, that's the way my mind works, low humor maybe but you can't possibly expect a boy to ignore a tome of straight lines can you?. <grin>Seriously, it's very nice work, well done.Frosty The Lucky.

Charles R. Stevens Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Like Frosty, i suggest more meet in the eye, a longer slot and draw it our with a pein in the mandril, or localized heat and upset mid bar. Maybe both, as it longer slot, and after initially opening it, take a good heat and drive the ends together to open the eye with out stretching the sides.

Jacob Nothstine Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I like it, something different, made me smile. Was also thinking a fish hawk would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstar.esq Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 It made me think of pipe hawks and how an animal with an open mouth could hold the pipe's bowl. The aesthetics are really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAD MAX Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Very good work, I am envious! I have no artistry in me. I can make hawks but the duck part is beyond my abilities. Very nice finish on the blade. What did you start with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
