I've been wanting to make one of these for a long time, I finally got up off my lazy butt and did it. This was a fun, quick project...
The woods are red oak and black walnut scraps. Some of the walnut is transition from heartwood to sapwood so there is a lot of color variation.
The handle is shop made of the same material as well.
Dimensions are...
Head 3.75" wide, 6" deep, 2.5" tall.
Handle 1" dia tapering to 1.25, 12" long.
Assembled length 14" from tip of brass hook.
Finish is Danish Oil & Paste Wax.
Hanging proudly from my peg board...
From this angle it looks like I need to buff out the wax a tad more...
I love how this angle captures the head, but it washes the handle out. I LOVE the grain and color variation on this face.
This one captures the real color a little bit better....
