Lot 35: Pipe Tomahawk by: Allan Quade

Member Artist Allan Quade has forged a wonderful pipe tomahawk for this year’s auction. Every part is carefully hand forged. The head is mild steel with a forge welded tool steel blade. The eye was carefully punched while the steel was hot and drifted to accommodate a beautiful curly maple handle. Allen then takes the tomahawk to the next level. He forged a pipe bowl and added two brass inlays to the blade. The hawk was fire blued and the handle was finished using aqua fortis and linseed oil. The final detail for any pipe tomahawk is the cleanout plug and Allen’s heart shaped walnut plug shows off his care and attention to detail. This piece of art deserves a place in your collection and is ready to accompany you on your next adventure!
