Lee challenged me to make one. So I did. This is from maple and walnut scraps leftover from building my bench. The inside is filled with lead pellets. I whacked about with it and it whacked pretty well. I have an old pair of shoes ready to dedicate some leather to cover the faces, but for now, I’ll leave it plain.

More beautiful/functional art. Some of the tools I’ve seen on the site lately are more like pieces of wood sculpture. Terrific work as always Steve.

Hey Steve;

That’s a great looking hammer! A fantastic job.

I was a little concerned when my LJ notifier message read “Lee Jesberger Dead”.

Your buddy SPalm added new project: Lee Jesberger Dead …

Imagine my relief when I got the rest of the message.

My wife would have been very mad at me, I didn’t build her furniture yet!

I’m sure you found it an enjoyable project. I really enjoy projects that are small and quick to finish. They’re pleasant for a change of pace.

Some of my projects have gone on for as long as fourteen months. (construction business), intermixed with cabinet and furniture work. Sometimes these projects are great, but they do seem to last a lifetime!

I have to admit with the economy as it is, one of those projects would be good right about now!
