Repoussé Chasing Hammer — 25mm Dome Face & Ball Peen, Wooden Handle, Metal Work

Moving sheet metal gradually — not battering it — is the whole discipline of repoussé, and a dome face is what makes it possible. The 25mm highly polished dome lays down diffuse, overlapping impressions that shift the metal in soft stages, so a delicate form grows without the hard-edged marks a flat face would leave. The ball peen on the reverse steps in for planishing and building textured finishes.

The polished steel head is securely mounted to a shaped wooden handle whose natural balance suits the light, repeated strikes this work runs on. A dependable choice for silversmiths, coppersmiths, armourers and metal sculptors shaping sheet with control.
