Last Tomahawk

Well this was the last tomahawk I made (poled axe) ... no longer capable of doing them.
Sent it out as a gift to a special LADY on the frontier.
She uses it alot from what I hear.
Wish I could make more.

Did you forge the head?  Looks to be plenty beefy to survive some hard use and survive.  I'm curious why no more too?
