It was one of the first tools I ever had. It was first in my hands when I was about three years old and I never put it down. It came from a bunch of tools that belonged to my great grandfather. It is a small ball-peen hammer with what looks like an oak or ash handle. The handle broke in half the other day when I was just holding it, funny how it held up even for the last blow. When it cracked it revealed a rather cool view of what happens to wood when it ages and dries for a long time. I was able to get a clear photo showing the structure of this vertical grained wood and what it looks like after a century or so. You can see the cell structure and each individual tube. This wood is extremely stable. It would take a long time for water to saturate and cause any change in this wood. It almost resembles the inside of bone. The good news is that I glued it back together! Wont have to carve a new handle just yet.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_326\" style=\"width: 674px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/what-happens-to-old-wood\/dscn4265\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-326\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-326\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-326    \" title=\"Old Wood\" src=\"https:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN4265.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"664\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN4265.jpg 2560w, http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN4265-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN4265-266x200.jpg 266w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-326\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Old Wood<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_326\" style=\"width: 674px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/what-happens-to-old-wood\/dscn4265\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-326\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-326\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-326    \" title=\"Old Ball-Peen Hammer\" src=\"https:\/\/koentoppguitars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN4268.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"664\" height=\"498\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-326\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Old Ball-Peen Hammer<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a picture of an old hammer of mine that recently bit the dust.
