This item is much smaller than I expected. He doesn't have the weight to do much. Good hardwood, I think it can be used for some light work but you won't be splitting clapboards or anything like that.
THIS hammer is made from the least "STONE" maple wood I've ever tasted. I only use it to chop logs into smaller pieces to start a fire. The 90 degree edges on my camping knives really tear up the surface of this product.
Very high quality. Very good for marking and as a knife to prevent tearing. Recommend this tool to anyone who needs a fine line marker and scale to prevent tearing. The fine micro adjuster works great, especially if you have a dial or digital caliper to set the cutting distance. Highly recommended. Would buy the same tool and brand if I ever needed a new one. Can be easily sharpened with a whetstone or fine wet or dry sandpaper. Very satisfied
I used a wood carving hammer. It worked like I thought it would at the time. Then I was told that real woodcarvers use a hammer. (Like sculptors on their stone.) So I feel like Michelangelo, I get it. It's better than a hammer because you don't have to hit the square end of the chisel with the flat part of the hammer head. You will never miss. Why did not I think of this? I think hardwood maple is a good choice, but some people have told me that oak or teak, which are heavier, are better. Maybe
Well, I started carving wood a few years ago and have progressed like the rest of us. First wood carving, then more serious hand logging. When I got to the point of using a hammer and heavier chisels, I KNEW that using a mallet was traditional, but I thought I knew better. rubber mallet. It seemed to work pretty well. BUT now I understand. It's the first one I've had, but I already love it. Less tired hands when working on big projects; I've also found that the power transferred into each bit…
