Aging of hammer felt

[Richard Brekne]

Aside from general atrophy... I would think quite a bit would have to do 
with what kind of life the hammers had lived.  Were they fond of tobacco 
?  Over enthusiastic about getting a sun tan each year ?  Neglectful of 
there skin in the dry winters ??  Tenancies towards overweight ?

Things get old. Most things tend to mellow for a while as they get 
older,  before they quietly dissipate into the stuff that they were made 
of.. Course some things get just plain cranky instead... :)

Cheers
