URL:https://feralskills.com/events/blacksmith-trade-tomahawk-weekend-war-or

STATUS:CONFIRMED
DESCRIPTION:The Algonquian people first created the tomahawk. Before Europe
 ans came to the continent\, Native Americans would use stones\, sharpened 
 by a process of knapping and pecking\, attached to wooden handles\, secure
 d with strips of rawhide. The tomahawk quickly spread from the Algonquian 
 culture to the tribes of the South and the Great Plains. \nOther Native Am
 erican tribes created a tomahawk’s poll\, the side opposite the blade\, wh
 ich consisted of a hammer\, spike or even a pipe. These became known as pi
 pe tomahawks\, which consisted of a bowl on the poll and a hollowed out sh
 aft. These were mostly created by European and American artisans for trade
  and diplomatic gifts for the tribes. \nIn this weekend class we will be c
 reating our own trade axes and forging our own axe blades and polls. Stude
 nts can choose to make an axe with a hammer or spike poll. \nWe will be wo
 rking with hammers\, presses and metal lathes to create our axe heads. \nT
 hen on day two\, we will learn to heat treat and grind our axes\, as well 
 as assembly and finishing. \nThis is a 2 day class. 11am to 4ish\, Saturda
 y and Sunday.\nBring or order a snack for the intermission. \nAges 18 and 
 up\nPrice: $175
