I might just have a go with resin. I am not after a real hammer to do anything but reside in a Bible... Ya know? :lol

No, that looks like a "good" rock pick. I saw a kit that had a short, all metal rock pick. You would have had to add a wooden handle to it. I just don't remember where I saw it at this poin.

I would be really interested if someone produced these hammer heads in metal.

I found a lot of those as well. Problem is the bottom of the hammer has no small square handle area to it. Now, might be able to grind one in, but that is a ton of work.

IIRC, there are no actual shots with the hammer in the Bible in the movie right? I know this is a prop for the shelf at home, but is that cutout the same as the hammer in the shots?

I see a lot of riveting hammers (jeweler's hammers) that are similar as well. The 4.75 inch head is roughly 118mm and the 8.25 inch handle is roughly 200mm, so those are the right dimensions, presuming the hammer actually fit in the Bible.

Once I get the Bible in the mail Ill do a full size template with the screen cap. Ill then be able to transfer that to the clay and make a hammer head that will fit in that hole. May be different looking than the two pictured above. That will check scale as well.
15 minutes with some oil clay rendered me this. Pretty good start. Little bit of pink goo and some 2 part resin and wham... Damn cool prop hammer. :love Bet I can find a steak knife or something to replicate the handle.

Some show that was on television this week had a small hammer used as a prop. I meant to make a note of it, but forgot to and can't remember what they called it. The didn't refer to it as a rock hammer, but it did resemble what was used.

Thanks guys. 
Ill look into it after I get the final sculpt all squared away. I would like to find the real hammer, or at least one that is close enough to grind into shape. I think a resin one is a good second choice if the first doesn't pan out.

That's what it was on what ever show I watched in October, an upholstery hammer. It was probably on one of the procedurals I watch.
