Hi Everyone,
I picked up this PLUMB hammer which was in rough shape a year ago from the antique shop, the handle had been replaced poorly and didn't last. I made an attempt at a new handle, which loosened up over time because I neglected to dry the handle properly. This time, the handle will last, see how I make this handle starting from a log.
The hammer head eye was tapered in two two directions, so I needed to use a unique wedge pattern to account for this.
This was a pretty quick project, and the 3rd time I've dried ash in the oven with good success. I'm not sure how this affects the brittleness of the handle, so we'll see how it performs over the next little while.
Thanks and enjoy!
