Ok… I need help. I’m at a complete loss. Our pal paranger put me onto an original hammer poll ‘hawk head on eBay and I “accidentally” won it with an obscenely low bid. Remember the original horn I won? Same deal.
Anyway… it arrived today and I started considering the possibility of putting it into service. It will clean up nicely. Upon looking at the eye, I became completely confused. It’s a circular eye. And significantly tapered. However… the small part of the eye is at the top. Backwards… er… upside down from what I expected.
So… casting flaw? A tomahawk handling method I’m not aware of? How to go about hanging this little guy?
Bottom of eye is 3/4” diameter. Top is 5/8”. Doesn’t sound like much, but it is. Eye is only 3/4” deep.
While researching how to hang this all afternoon and evening, I’ve discovered that this is a pretty valuable little tomahawk.
How to haft this darling…
