Title: Abused Hawks
Post by: pathfinder on February 27, 2009
I have two hawks that I lent out and when they came back the heads were all distorted. I don't have a forge anymore and it's going to be a while before I have another one up and runnin',so is there someone who could reshape the heads for me?  Let me know what ya need in trade to do  this for me.

pathfinder are those just reg'lar ol hawk heads like H&B? I have a forge and a hawk drift, I might be able to fix 'em!

The one is an H&B the other I think is an H&B hammer pole and I do have a forged one with a steel insert thats not finished to well in the eye. If ya don't mind I'll send them and if'n ya can fix 'em,great. I realize the risk and possability of damage,but it's worth the risk. From the work you did on the horn, I'm sure they will turn out great!

Pathfinder, I'll do em' for you if you want, N/C. I've got my forge goin' all day several days a week and it shouldn't take much time to heat and hammer them straight . If interested, send me a PM and I'll give you my address and phone #
