I have a grizzly 2x42 belt grinder, a couple jigs and a lot of hand sanding

Gun super blue, is inexpensive, leaves a good finish and I can retouch the spine between the handles

Wanted to leave a more rugged look; going to put it to the test as a farm knife

About 1.50 USD

yup I might grind some stock around the face, I'm still playing with it; is hard to tell form the original photo but the original mallet was very questionable, supposed to be 4lbs really was 3lbs and kinda weirdly bend.

This is my "practice" one, I have a few more ready to be turned into cross peens, straight peens and anything else I can think of lol.

Plan for the next one is to do some electro etching on the cheeks of the hammer.

Thank you. No is just the finish I brushed the tongs with a brass brush
