unfinished strap hing

This is as far as we got in making strap hinges in the class this year. Its the important part. The actually working part of the hing. At this point the long piece would be formed into a decorative end. the end that would be driven into the door frame has a chiseled end that allows it to enter the wood without splitting the wood. The little barbs are o keep it from falling out of the frame once it is in.
