In going through one of several caches of tools acquired over the summer, I found this.
It appears to be Lignum Vitae, and it weighs more than one would first guess (22 oz)
I like to put a handle on it and use it as a joinery persuader, but not sure how to approach this.
It looks almost as if it once had threads, and if so, the handle wasn't all that deeply rooted.
I'm hesitant to bore all the way through and use wedges.
Any thoughts (and corresponding rationales)??
