How do I take care of my new Beaver Bill Pipe Hawk?
If you are displaying your Pipe Hawk all you would need to do is dust it off occasionally and coat with a light layer of any good gun oil or something like 3 in 1 oil. A very light coat over the metal and wood should keep any corrosion at bay. Wiping off after every time someone handles the hawks is a good idea also.
