Allen, I’m betting your father is going to love that. If he’s reluctant to use it, I’d understand. That’s a piece of art.

Awsome work Allen! Is the handle a traditional design? Cool crescent face likeness on the top side!

Thanks. I was trying to base the handle off some of his existing raising hammers, but got a little too focused in making it smooth and whittled it down too narrow. Oh well, it will still work.

Too cool for words. Nice work. Must have been a lot of fun to make and even better to give as a gift.

Excellent hammer! You are getting really good at that forging, combined with your wood work, an unbeatable combination!

Incredible. What piece of art. Ironically, I can’t imagine a jeweler making anything more beautiful than this. Kinda puts some pressure on dad in a way. :)

I know nothing about forging. I do know that is one beautiful piece of work. I’ll bet your dad is/will be ecstatic.

Beautiful work, Allen.
