I drilled holes in the head of the hammer. Added and subtracted lead till it felt right covered the holes using a leather spacer to keep lead from falling out the handle, keeps the leather washer in place I have not weighed this hammer But the feel of it is perfect for my purpose i may have to try that, i haven't beat on anything enough yet to tell how well i like it. I was wishing the other day i had a straight piece of antler for this lol.

Till i added the antler I got from you and weighted the head. now i use it all the time If you noticed, I sanded a flat spot on the head. I got tired of glancing blows, I hit it square now.
