Title: Pair of Hawks
Post by: Gus on July 15, 2013, 02:03:03 pm

Here are a Pair of Hawks I just finished up.
Got the Hawk Heads in trade from Mr. KHalverson.
He does some Fine Work...  :)

Mounded them both with Hardwood Wedge and CA Glue.
The first is Bodark with a Texas Ebony Wedge.
The Second is Texas Ebony with a Bodark Wedge...
I decided to Spit Shine one and leave the other Forge Black.

Have to finish up the Cases and Holsters for them before they go on their way.
