ep 85 - Life Size Thor's Hammer Movie Prop from Solid Lignum Vitae Densest Wood on Earth
Free plans can be found here:
kingsfinewoodworking.com/collections/project-plans-for-sale/products/thors-hammer-life-size
A viewer of ours requested one of our life size Thor’s Hammers but he had a unique request, he wanted to head and handle made out of all Lignum Vitae. Lignum is pretty rare and it is the densest wood on earth, so this was definitely going to be a showpiece hammer.
I thought it would look nice with some deep red Padauk accents. Those were incorporated on the handle and the top of the hammer head.
Follow along as we create this for him. And don’t forget your free set of plans.
