Old hammer, new handle.

So it's gonna be a display piece? Nice little piece of family history there. Might even look good on the wall.
Not a display piece, it’s going to live underneath my bench with the rest of the hammers and occasionally be used, when I have occasion to sink some 16d in one hit like Larry Haun
Looks like you put some effort into the metal too - looks freshly scrubbed and oiled ✨ matches that new handle beautifully - great work!!
thanks! Wire wheeled all the rust and concrete, filed off various burrs, dents, etc, and even chased the milling on the face.
looks pretty
Looks great. It's always nice to see something old find a new life.
Finally, a comm for that one user who hand-makes longbows. This ones for you, comrade.
