Great Plains Spontoon Tomahawk By Iron John Logan

This is my copy of an original tomahawk from the 1860s. This head is the most difficult tomahawk I have ever forged; gun barrel pipe and eye, steel bit, pierced curls. Patinaed to match the original. Smokeable handle of black Walnut with fire checkering, incise carving, paint and brass tacks. Brain tanned deer quirt with glass beads and wool wrap. Overall dimensions 13 by 23 inches




Copy and photos by John Logan.

  1. Howdy. I am new here. I have been rendezvousing for thirty plus years. I have been making and selling tomahawks that are three inches long. They are not fancy like the beautiful work that I have been seeing on here. They are for throwing. They stick really well and are quite a novelty at the rendezvous. If I can figure this out, I will post a pic.Thanks for having me...Little Hawk
