I do pen and ink illustration. Recently bought an old platen press to convert illustration work into prints. Wanting to do lino and woodcut when I can find the time. I carve and sculpt in wood, built myself a shaving horse, use hand tools quite a bit on various projects. Have an Alaskan mill for slabs, but there’s a real mill a few miles from my house and several bandmills in the area. Still love to have a bandmill of my own. I stay busy with commissions, mostly carving, but I have a lot of hand tool projects I want to do when when time allows.

Thank you for all the good comments. The tool in question is a small hammer I made for tapping wedges and pegs. The hammer head is actually a section of a hickory splitting-maul handle, with a piece of leather on one side, and the handle, a section of deer antler. It works well for adjusting marking gauges and other light work.

Mike
