Thanks for the update Gareth, it actually looks a lot better than I expected, particularly the cross section is it as diminutive as my Vaughan Mini would you say?
Great job on the handle

Hard to say for sure how different without holding them side by side. I'll grab it later and check the weight.
true - the heads look different, does that make any practical difference ? as i've said, i know bugger all about axes ! edit - other then the weight i guess ....

Cheers Gareth, I'll try to get a comparative weight off mine later

The Vaughan Mini is a measly 310g, and the eye is only 25mm x 8mm, so your hawk is a mighty felling axe compared to the Vaughan

I'm genuinely surprised by how good a little chopper and splitter this little hawk has been. Without a doubt it's my new go-to pack axe.

I think the one with the bigger poll would feel nicer to use, more balanced to swingIf the head is balanced it shouldn’t ‘wobble’ in swing ....probably
Congrats!
