Embossing Hammer — 16 oz Round Dome & Flat Faces, 11-3/4 Inch Wooden Handle, Repoussé
An embossing hammer with the mass for larger-scale repoussé — 16oz of steel that moves a broad area of silver in a few blows rather than nibbling at it. The polished round dome face raises smooth, uniform texture in repoussé work; the flat, cylindrical face handles general forming, planishing and riveting on the same piece. Holloware makers and coppersmiths work non-ferrous sheet with it for the same reasons.
The straight wooden handle runs 11¾ inches, giving reach, balance and a comfortable grip that keep a heavy head under control. Let the weight do the moving — with a hammer of this mass, deliberate strokes beat hard swings, and your wrist knows it by the end of a session.
- The polished round dome face is designed for creating smooth, uniform textures in repoussé work.
- A flat, cylindrical face provides a solid surface for general forming, planishing, and riveting tasks.
- The 16oz steel head offers substantial weight for moving larger areas of silver and other soft metals.
- A straight, 11¾-inch wooden handle provides excellent balance, reach, and a comfortable grip during use.
Who it's for
A staple tool for UK silversmiths, holloware makers, and jewellers who work on larger pieces. Also suitable for coppersmiths and artisans requiring a heavier, dual-purpose hammer for forming and texturing non-ferrous sheet metal.
