at forging a tomahawk from a ball peen hammer resulted in very tired arms, several blisters and a profound respect for those who do this well. The almost finished hawk id 7 1/4" from blade to tip. Here are also a couple of shots of a 13" bowie 01 I just finished up. I know the phopts are poor, but critique is appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

Dick

Very well said and I wholeheartedly agree. I have several half beat out hammers..
Nothing pathetic about your effort, nicely done...
Nice Bowie also....that handle has a pulse....
 
So where is the "pathetic attempt at a Hawk? I like the other one you posted, it looks great! I'm sure, since the one pictured turned out so well, the pathertic one (you forgot to add the pics of) can be fixed! Nice Bowie, too! Rex
 
Thank you, gentlemen. I guess the patheric part was me trying all day to beat that hammer head into submission.
