I was hoping that you would post that.  I wish I could do half as nice of a job hafting as you did there.  I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that! :o.  Josh

 I remember you mentioning that in an email, Rich.  Looks like one heck of an attitude adjuster. Well done, sir.

What kind of museum we talking about here?  Looks very politically incorrect. ;D

cool item rich!
i too would like to see some close up details of the hafting...

interesting name
would like to know more about the history of that term.

saw something similar in a documentary about ancient britain.
it was simply an elk antler with the tine nearest the end formerly attached to animal left intact and all the rest cut off.
it was thought to be used as both a weapon and a pick. an actual ancient one was found in tunnels where flint was mined.

thanks!

Fascinating piece there and absolutely beautiful work. I too would love to know the history behind the name, beyond what appears to be the obvious. Great job!
