Bubba Luke broke the handle on his throwing "hawk" yesterday. (It was ancient, already taped and re taped, etc). Now, I know he can order a new one from Panther Primives, etc. but he wants to carve his own.

He has a billet of seasoned oak, and my question is:

Doesn't it have to be shaped so that it balances correctly, length to fit Bubba, etc? There is more involved here than just making the hawk head fit on the shaft, isn't there?

Thanks!
