Abstract

A hammer is provided having two faces, capable of producing a very wide variety of patterns. One face has a single dome centered in an otherwise un-textured field having a slight curvature, which eases the metalworker's ability to apply only the desired design of a single dome. The dome has an ellipsoidal surface with a diameter at its base of ⅛″ to about ¼″ and a height of from about 3/16- 5/16″. The very tip of the ellipsoid has a radius of curvature from about 0.010-0.015″ while the radius of curvature adjacent the intersection with the body is from about 0.035 to 0.070″. The other face has a similar gently curved field with 3 parallel upraised trapezoidal ridges formed therein, the central ridge having a height between about 0.014-0.020″, the two exterior ridges having a height between about 0.009-0.011″, the central face of all three ridges having a width of about 0.010″, and the included angle between the central face and the inclined sidewalls being about 120°.
