My latest hawk

[rifleshooter2]

I decided to try and make a gun barrel pipe hawk.



After a little forging.



Forge welding in a piece of file for the bit.



Forge weld complete.



Rough grind complete. Now I just need a day off of work to do the final polish and fit a handle. The bowl is a bit small for smoking, next time I'll make it larger.

That is quite a transformation!  Thanks for sharing the process with us.

Interesting - I woulda tried to make a pistol out of it before thinking of a hawk -  - but then I anin't never been accused of being the sharpest nail in the pail either....
