In this episode of "The Outdoor Boys," the host and his friend Nathan discuss building a tomahawk throwing range. Nathan, an avid collector of old axe heads, shares his beautifully forged tomahawk from Southern Germany. Despite its perfect condition, they decide to build a target for it.
They start by procuring a large wooden round from a neighbor. After some difficulty, they manage to cut it down to the required size. Nathan uses a piece of reclaimed lumber from an old barn in Florida to create the base of the tomahawk target. He also has a piece of morado wood, which he plans to use to shape the handle of the tomahawk.
The process of shaping the wood to fit exactly in the eye of the tomahawk proves to be challenging. After sanding, they create a wedge from some scrap wood. They then use boiled linseed oil, which acts as a lubricant when fresh and an adhesive when it's been on for a while, to help the tomahawk head slide on and off the handle.
Finally, they mount the tomahawk head on the handle and Nathan throws the tomahawk at the target. They express satisfaction with the finished product and look forward to future projects.
