Brian Anderson Pipe Tomahawk

The axe is forged from old wrought iron, filed, and etched slightly to enhance the grain. My copy is wrought iron with a steel bit in the cutting edge - if you look closely you can see where the iron stops and the steel shows The haft is curly maple with a turned horn mouthpiece.

Brian's axe was inspired by this pipe tomahawk in The British Museum that was featured on the blog in April 2011.
