      Steve, they are too beautiful to swing at anything. But, what were they originally meant for? Carving?

          Those are great Steve, but I'm not sure I could really hit anything with them, would break my heart in the process!

            Thanks for all the kind comments. I originally made the hammers to be used. But, I got carried away. Of the six I made I have given three away. Two are on display and one is being used in a kitchen.

                  Kai,

                  My original intention was to use the hammer I kept for chisels. The long handle allows you to "choke up" for easy control of the strength of the hit. Since my last response, I have actually used my hammer, to make a mortise that was too large to do on my mortiser. Other than a light hammer tone to the brass face, it worked fine.

                      Steve:

                      Those are exquisite hammers. Sort of embodies the eastern concept that tools should be beautiful to the eye as well as the hand. I figured that they would be used for chisels. Could you also use them to adjust the wedged iron on wooden body planes?
