Turned in air dried mulberry wood, a dense fruiting tree with tight interlocking grain. (one solid piece)
It measures 9.3/8'' long over all, the striking surface is 4.1/2'' long by 2.1/8 inches in diameter at the end tapering down to 1.7/8'' diameter near the handle.
Finished with boiled linseed oil.
A short handle with a natural feel that causes you to choke up your grip without thinking about it. Shape of handle that remains comfortable after long hours of carving.
Ease of control with plenty of strike face surface, letting you focus on what your carving rather than what your swinging.
