Here is one I just finished up. Forged from 1x1 1/4 mild steel. Piece of plow steel forge welded in for the cutting edge. Hand carved white ash for the handle. Mild steel end cap and deer antler for the clean out plug. Lightly aged. Sealed and ready for smoking.

I think it is interesting when a builder puts together a  clean design of pleasing proportions and nice lines.  Nothing else is needed to make such designs elegant as they stand.  Often any additional features are distractions.    Your hawk appeals to me as an elegant design preferrable to many of the fancy variety so often seen.
