Pewter decorations have been poured and the mouthpiece formed.
Now just waiting for the author of this blog to come up with wording for a decorative plaque.

A Perfectly Engraved Tomahawk - First Look
Jud is currently finishing a new endeavor - a highly engraved tomahawk.
When I visited 2 weeks ago, the engraving was just beginning.
This is of course, made in the mode that would have been made on the spot by a local blacksmith/artisan for the fur trade when the factory made trade goods were exhausted.
Striking details include the use of a cast off piece of rifle barrel iron with the rifling still visible in the bowl of the pipe.
