Performance notes

The 15 oz urethane head is sized for controlled chisel driving rather than heavy mortise work. Urethane is firmer than rubber, which reduces bounce-back during carving strokes. The beech wood handle's natural flex helps absorb vibration over extended use. No length or face diameter data is provided.
