Desert Ironwood Hammer Handle

[@SonyJimable]

Quality over quantity. You made something beautiful, useful, and long lasting. Worthy of handing down to those that follow for generations. If we all did this, there would be less waste, less destruction of the environment, and people would be proud of what they have. Subscribed.

Splendid work, it turned out amazing!

I read a comment somewhere that the desert ironwood has high silica content and working with it can cause silicosis.

[@samuelpudwill6794]

hey idk if you gona reply to this but where did you get that piece of ironwood ? i cant find any that big for under like 50-75 $ and im gona do something similar but with an 8 lb sledge hammer head(only a 14 inch handle thou ik its short for an 8 lb but idc ima do it). any help would be nice.

Great looking little hammer. I found the original piece of wood with the dark and light colors very pretty and I think it might make for a really nice fret board.

Beautiful Handel!

[@AusMiner]

Great video. That is very nice timber. I use local salmon gum for similar jobs. Similar in grain pattern etc but a much more pink / red colour. Great tip about using shellac and sanding to fill in the cracks - I'll have to try that.

Great video

That's beautiful wood.

Best is the wedge is accurately cut and tapered both ways so it fits fully along the slot and wedges both ways -expands the wood and itself wedges against the metal . Any gaps can be filled by using a ball pein hammer onto the endgrain to crush the fibres . Then linish it all smooth.

Beautifully done! May you get many years working with that hammer! I would LOVE to find some of that wood to make some handles out of.

[@timemachineeddie1146]

I am planning on making a 3 inch wide 16 x 20 inch frame for a canvas painting. I purchased the Ironwood years ago. Your video showed me how to cut the wood. I plan on using a live edge all the way around. Any tips? Great video Love the amazing hammer and thanks for sharing.

There are tools for normal people, then there are tools for ballers. This is a baller tool

[@ashtreylil1]

now tongs? or a forge

[@ca4Gochops]

How do you get rid of that fishy ironwood smell? I put linseed oil on mine. thought it was a the oil that stunk as ironwood doesn't soak it, so I rubbed it off with alcohol. still stinks. any advice? thanks

[@marshall3095]

If I understand it correctly that the smell mostly comes from the wood dust. Try brush it after finishing the job and leave it somewhere dry and ventilated, the smell will be gone in a couple of days. Also, the oil finishing is not a must, a fine grinded piece of desert ironwood (up to 1000#) will have much less smell and better looking.
