Great attention to detail - it has a sense of 'age' and 'purpose' to it.

Thanks for posting.

Now - post more...

Thanks, St Goerge.  The head itself is a copy of an original except for the slightly longer spike. It is pictured in the book American Indian Tomhawks by Harold L. Peterson plate # 83,circa 19th century.

Ditto's on the compliments. What a beautiful piece of work. Approx. how many hours to make? How much$?
There is no educational benefit whatsoever from a second kick by a Mule!
