I’ve been asked to carve an inscription on a claw hammer handle. Is there a way to make this work? I doubt there is much flat surface to work with.
Thank you,
Bill

Options (from good to better to best):
Thank you Will. It might be more than I can handle right now in terms of the learning curve to make all that happen. Might have to send her on to someone else.
As always, thank you for all your help.

Alternately, if the tool is not to be used, face a flat onto it, V-carve the flat? Optional improvement mill a piece of plexiglass to cover it?
Or, why engrave the ephemeral / replaceable handle — why not engrave the side of the hammer itself (aside from folks such as Tom Silva, it’s unused and the engraving won’t get damaged / dinged).
Very good idea, I think I’m going to push for the flat milling! She sent me a pic of one she had seen on Etsy with the engraved handle so I’m sure that’s what she will want.
