Chasing & Planishing Hammer — 16 oz Steel Head, Wooden Handle, Repoussé & Wire Forming

A hammer for the point where lighter chasing hammers stop moving the metal. At 16oz (454g) the head has the mass to planish and form heavier-gauge sheet and wire with relaxed, deliberate strokes — you let the weight do the work rather than swinging harder, which keeps fatigue down through a raising or repoussé session. Copper, brass and silver all respond well to it.

The head carries a flat circular face for planishing and a narrower rectangular face for shaping, both polished steel, so the surface you leave behind is smooth and uniform. A straight-grained wooden handle balances the head and absorbs the shock of repeated blows. Stock is held in the UK for same-day dispatch.
