welp, u can think about it as applying the bluying to halt current exposure, afterwards the surface being sanded and polished and oiled has protective effect, alhtough funny at first glance, its somewhat logical to do that, he isnt restoring it in 2 minutes, it takes some days, and you wouldnt want to let it catch rust again or things, cuz sanded metal rusts again very easily, wouldnt you?

Really nice piece, but when it comes to the handles of impact tools I think it’s best for the grain to be at a 45 degrees angle off center. It really prevents the tool’s handle from splitting with the gain during impact. Something this small might not immediately be prone to it, but a grain of 45 degrees could really give more life to the handle. I really like the hammer restoration though!

Very nice resto, the handle is particularly good, well done! Even though you put quite a bit of work into this piece, I'm not sure how it would be worth $80-$100. I have restored well over a dozen hammer heads of various types and have a drawer full to go. I either use them as intended as hammers, or more than likely just use the heads as forms when working metal. Change the shape of the surfaces and presto, anew form. I don't try to sell them because no one cares how much work one puts into restoring it, it's just a hammer. Hammers are cheap.

Beutiful handle locust is a very hardwood not easy to work with hand tools amazing results ❤ 😊

Absolutely fantastic, only draw back is it was almost too lovely to use.

Very nice work on the hammer head. I like locust for ball pein handles but I have always made mine from green wood on the shavehorse using a drawknife. I learned from a third gen handle carver who had extraordinary skills. I watched him make one of these for me one day - from start to finish it took him 6 minutes. When he handed it to me all I had to do was let it season then hand sand and oil. I made some myself but it was always a challenge to get a nice oval shape that was comfortable in the hand. This was especially important if I wanted to used the tool for forge work on my anvil. I finally got his seal of approval but it took a lot of shavings to get there. Now I use a pnuematic drum sander with 4 grits for the sanding and I oil with walnut oil. It dries to a hard water resistant finish very quickly and isn't sticky. Overall - nice job and what a beautiful shop!
