Elk Hammer

I'm a bit infatuated with the klinkhamer, I admit. This is another modification I'd like to try out this May. Elk body hair for the tail and abdomen to give it hopefully a Hendrickson look. I haven't seen elk hair used for body wraps much so maybe it's a mistake, but added wire counter wraps should make it more durable and I love the look.
