Thanks heaps Bob, I like having to create this kind of functional piece, but I am not crash hot on the reason. (If you get my meaning) Joe.

Hi Joe,
I totally understand that its not something you ever wanted to do but it is a great tribute to a friend.
First time I've ever seen a hammer broken like that, and I've broken my share of tools. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

Hi Dan, glad youcould find the time to stop by and and comment. As soon as this weather clears and work allows I will finish it.
Forrest, thank you for the kind words. Yes, having a reason other than money to create something is very satisfying. I just wish I could steady my hand some when it comes to the engraving. That is something I find very difficult,but am determined to master eventually. Joe.

Finished the hanger today and am quite happy with the result, although the engraving...enough said. I used a couple of coats of danish oil, then hit it with a coat of beeswax which I buffed up to a nice shine. I think the timber might be Wallnut according to some of the pics I have seen on the chainsaw carving thread featuring some herons. Hard as all get out on the tools! Magnificent grain and colour though. Joe.
