1.3 pound decorated bench (tinkerer) hammer

1.3 pound decorated bench (tinkerer) hammer
Here’s a smaller decorated hammer I finished up. I call it a ‘tinkerers’ hammer, or simply a ‘bench hammer’. Weighing in at 1.3 pounds it has a domed face, and a crowned flat face. It would be useful for riveting, straightening, plannishing, doming, and light forming work, as well as other tasks with non ferrous metals.

The handle I made for this one is just shy of 11” and has a thin neck and a wider bottom end, making it easy and comfortable to grip for repetitive work. The handle is octagonal near the top, transitioning to oval at the bottom. It has been flame blackened and oiled to better seal it. This one has a wedge of purpleheart.
