Peening Log

Peening Log. We suggest the best way to mount a peening jig or anvil(s) is into a log. Wood is solid enough to withstand the blows of a hammer but resilient enough to absorb the shock and not transfer it back through the hammer into your arm. We were surprised when a few of customers called to ask "where can I get a log?" We were unprepared for those folks who live in treeless parts of the world. Our first suggestion was to check with the local lumber yard for a section of 6 x 6 or larger timber to make a peening stand. Since Maine is well forested our other solution is this ready-made "Peening Log". Scythe Supply's peening log is made from local cedar or spruce about 6"-8" in diameter and approximately 22" tall. For most people this is just the right height to support the overhanging blade on a knee while you sit comfortably on a chair or bench. One end of the log is predrilled for holes to accept peening jig and caps, and/or two anvils. We staple a rope, including two small loops, around the log to hold your peening hammer and another carrying loop over the top. The peening log is light weight. You can easily carry it to the field so it is handy when needed.

*Hammer, anvils & peening jig are sold separately.
