The wood handle I purchased at a craft type store in my area that specializes in wooden toys </DIV> <DIV>and the like. </DIV> <DIV>I put a few of these together for my chapter friends also. If I make another batch I think a few lead keyweights inbedded in the handle would give the tool more "heft "and help the tool do more of the work.</DIV> <DIV>I will add that a wood voicing block something like (V2 or V3 Schaff  or JVR-2 or JVR-3 Pianotek )  is required to support the hammer</DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><A href="http://www.cmlsupply.com/mini-keyless-chuck-1-4-shank-for-micro-drill-bits.html">http://www.cmlsupply.com/mini-keyless-chuck-1-4-shank-for-micro-drill-bits.html</A></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><A href="http://www.draftingsteals.com/20046.html">http://www.draftingsteals.com/20046.html</A><BR></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><A href="http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/VAUGHAN-Ball-Pein-Hammer-3NWX4">http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/VAUGHAN-Ball-Pein-Hammer-3NWX4</A></FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
