Carlos Gove pattern pipe tomahawk,
4140 alloy steel head,
22" tapered and drilled curly maple handle,
made in the U.S.A.

Part Number:	TOMAHAWK-GOVE-M-D
Availability:
Price:	$80.60

A replica of a Carlos Gove pipe tomahawk, from his early days in Council Bluffs. He later became a famous gun maker in Denver.

Similar designs were also commonly imported in the 18th and early 19th centuries from Europe, and widely imitated by American blacksmiths.

The investment cast head is 4140 steel. The pipe bowl is hollow with a cast hole through to the eye. Use this as a guide to cross-drill into the handle. The head has an overall length of 8", the edge is 2-3/8". The head is as-cast. It will require deburring and polishing.

Our optional 22" hickory handle with swell at the end is patterned after a original example. Our hickory handle is not drilled for smoking. Order this hickory handle if you plan to throw this peace pipe. Only skilled experts should throw a peace pipe, due to the awkward balance.

Our 22" curly maple handle is highly decorative when stained and finished, has the swell at the end, and is drilled for smoking. Our curly maple #HANDLE-GOVE-M-DRILLED is supplied with this handle to make a ceremonial peace pipe for smoking tobacco, an American Indian tradition. Never use a figured curly maple handle for throwing.
