This is a hammer head that I recently finished. The face of the hammer is around 3/4 of and inch. The face was engraved by push only. The sides are scuptured with punches and on the counter weight I used a graver max to cut the english scroll.

Jim,

Welcome!! Can't believe it; I know you are miles from civilization so, is that a Colman fuel-powered computer you are using or what? (Hee hee)
The engraving on the hammer is superb!

That is beautiful Jim! Glad to have you with us.

Do I see an empty space shock around the perimeter of the hammer, you naughty boy? HeeHee

Give Karen my regards............

Hi Mr. Jim, good to see you here --- perhaps you'll show up more often. I think you did a masterful job on that hammer head ! John Rohner sent me one to do for his collection about a few weeks back. I can only hope I can do something even close as nice as yours. Have you emailed John pictures of it yet ? Best regards, ken
