Rade Hawkins had some beautiful hawk handles for sale. Check with him and see if they are still available. This shot is from the CKD Supply center. |

Re: Hawk handles
Bob, your neighbors got any trees. To bad you don't live out here in Oregon, you could trim my birch trees and have a life time supply. You been making some hawks? I'd like to see a picture when you done. Ray |

Re: Hawk handles
I am thinking about making two Hawks. One for a friend and a matching one for myself. Have not started anything yet. Not real sure if Hawks is what I will make for sure but will make some eventually so might as well look into handles now. |

Re: Hawk handles
Bob, I have no contacts for handles as pretty as these but if you want a plain hickory handle, I live amounst many handle mills and have contacts with a couple of them. Gary |

If you want to make your own handle, check out MapleLeaf Hardwoods.com. I bought some beautiful maple from them. |

Thanks Rade. I will be contacting you soon to get some. I am currently looking for someone that has a drift that I can borrow for drifting out the hole to fit the handle. Looks like it will be harder to find than I thought. I don't know the dimentions of the handle to make my own so I may be forced to buy a cheap handle to use as a model for a drift. But I will be wanting curly maple handles before long. I'll let you know. I would like to thank everyone for the help. |

Rade's right. Centaur Forge has them. Here's a link to the hawk drifts: www.centaurforge.com/index.html?target=HammersDrifts.html |

Why didn't I think of looking under hammers for drifts? Thanks, I guess they will get MORE of my money. |

Great information about handles. Anyone know where to buy the actual blade portion? Id prefer a stainless head if possible. The ideal would be if I could design the head myself and have it created somewhere. Thanks! |
