Do you know if the original handles were split or sawn? Grain runout is what I'm thinking about, but if the blanks were split then there wouldn't be any grain runout really.
And I would prefer wood, wouldn't yew?

A wood handle is a must ! " Nothing like a good piece of hickory", my elbow is screwed up from a fiberglass handle framing hammer and 12 hr days non stop straight for 6 weeks of framing 2 summers ago. It has severly limited my climbing the last few seasons. My own fault though. I was trying to get the second story finished on my home before the building dept. found me, it didn't matter though, six months after I was done a neighbor turned me in anyways.

Mark,
Wood they will be. For your next project get a Paslode or Porter-Cable gas powered nailer; I have the Paslode and it has really saved my wrists and elbows over the years.

I've got all the guns, PC and Hitachi, never a huge fan of paslode, just the nature of long days in construction makes long days hauling the pig seem easy. Let's make some wall hammers. Where do we send the money?

Have quotes for everything and have been looking at assembly/finish options on the hammers. On the Beaks Bryan has come up with a new design to go along with the original Beaks. We have quote for the originals and a new design die is reasonably cheap in the $3-$500 range. Also still sorting through a few remaining legal issues. Will post a more in-depth status within the next couple of weeks.

I'll take one hammer, Joseph, if we keep the total cost of the finished product under US$80.00
thanks,

Not yet and probably not before the fall but I do have a line on a stash of some existing ones if you send me an email...
Will be posting an update on the project in a couple of weeks - am in Cabo at the moment (nice breeze and a cappucino...). Still working it, however...
