Subject: [OldTools] todays quickie

I got this large sized rivet hammer a few weeks ago

(a bit over a pound at a guess)

Today I grabbed part of a busted sledge hammer handle and carved /
fitted up a handle for it.

This is about maybe an hours work at most, and so far no sandpaper has
touched it.

Drawknife, spokeshave, scraper.

If you knew how easy hickory wood scrapes you wouldn't resort to
abrasives either.

I'll probably scrape a bit more and oil it. Maybe even varnish it.

But who knows? Sometimes I just leave them bare.
