Title: Donated Hawk for Benefit Shoot
Post by: Ragnarok Forge on March 16, 2010, 12:40:00 AM

I donated a Fransisca to the Archery World annual charity shoot.   $6,000 was raised for The American Fallen Heros fund this year.  This hawk was designed as a camp axe, I left the back flat to allow for hammering in tent stakes and hitting other things that need a good whacking.  The hawk is representative of the gothic eras Fransiscan axe that was used so effectively in that eras wars.  The handle is waterfull maple which I thought came out really nice.

I made an over the shoulder sheath for the the hawk as well.  It was nice that a good hunting buddy of mine won it in the silent auction.

That was a wonderful and generous donation Clay!

And I like the complete package along with the sheath.  That maple handle is distinguished!

Have a great 2010 hunting season!

Shoot straight, Shinken
