I one I recently finished. Reforged 24oz ball peen hammer with slightly aged patina and curly maple for the handle.

That's a real beauty.

Absolutely gorgeous! You have certainly hidden all the "ball peenness!"

Stuart outstanding! Very nicely done.

thats awesome. man thats a beauty...

What a beauty! Thanks for sharing.

That is just awesome. From the head to the handle.

sweet hawk, i just bought a ball peen hammer to make a hawk out of, i dount it will look that good but as long as it works when it needs and my boys will be right happy with what i can make them and if it keeps them alive in the sand box then i dosent really matter how it looks..................but nice would be good...lol
great job dude!

Very nice, how do you put the aged patina on them?

I put cold bluing on them and then soak in bleach for about 10 minutes. When you take it out of the bleach it will be rusty. Just scotch brite it off and oil it good.

That is absolutely fantastic!

S. WIllis,

Do you redrift the eye to a more traditional teardrop? The work looks great and I have a couple of old beat up ball peens that I am thinking of retooling. That might be the trick for around camp for kindling.

Is that one of your own handles, or may I ask where you got it? Stunning work as always. Merry Christmas!

That one I made myself. Thank you for your compliment and Merry Christmas.

Great hawk! It looks really good. Where did you come up with the material for the handle.
