A question for George, Randy, or Cathead. When you milled the oval hole for the handle, did you mill it with a taper so the wedge could expand the handle or is it just a straight sided hole? I realize these are small hammers, used lightly. Just curious if it is necessary as I am going to make a couple.
Thanks
Darrell
Feel free to copy my heads if you want for your own use.
Get the bulged curve just right so you have a neat circle when you mill the sides flat.
You can print a copy of my rough turned head,and shrink it down to get your shape correct.
