Anticlastic Raising Cross Peen Hammer, Curved Head, for Jewellery and Repoussee, 10"

Master anticlastic raising with this specialist cross peen hammer, designed for precise shaping of domed and curved metal forms.

What it does

This hammer’s elongated, curved cross-peen head is engineered to smoothly follow the complex contours of anticlastic forms, encouraging controlled metal flow without overstretching. Its polished faces prevent unwanted marks on your workpiece, ensuring a clean finish. The securely mounted head and shaped hardwood handle offer a balanced feel for sustained, accurate hammering during intricate raising work.

How to use it

• Prepare your metal sheet and planishing stakes.
• Strike gently, moving the hammer across the curve.
• Polish faces regularly to maintain a smooth finish.

Who it's for

An essential tool for experienced silversmiths and jewellery makers specialising in holloware or sculptural pieces using anticlastic raising techniques. It’s also suitable for advanced students looking to refine their metal-forming skills, offering a more controlled alternative to standard raising hammers.
