Frank Turley Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Just finished for a friend. One pic shows the round face. The other pic, the squarish poll with chamfered corners. We started with square, medium carbon steel to be forged into the round for the head and face. The eye is rectangular, which is traditional for Japanese forging hammers. The poll isn't used for forging, just as a bit of counterpoise. Head length is 4 5/8" overall and the face is 1 3/8" D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Turley Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Ethan, I did not weigh the hammer, but I would guess at least 3 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
