Wood handles, for work hammers are mostly made of hickory, ash or oak. Wooden handles for throwing hammers, hickory, ash or cane (rattan) are used, the latter being the most desirable. The Olympic throwing hammers uses steel wire, in these modern times Highland games throwing hammers, use PVC plastic conduit, as a handle, as it tends to be more durable then cane or wood.

What is a chisel made out of?
Handles are made of all sorts of shapes and sizes, and of many kinds of wood. The cheaper grades of file handles are made of soft wood. Chisel handles should always be made of hard wood. Apple wood is often used for firmer chisel handles. Socket chisel handles for heavy work are often made from hickory.ANS 2 -Many of my favorite wood chisels have handles made from 'easy to grip' rubberised composite materials. Most of these have the tang of the steel carried right through to the end of the grip. This enables the user to hammer if he really needs to ( on the odd occasion I do that, I always use a 'dead-blow' hammer.)
