Too big a hammer handle? That's a matter of Opeinion again isn't it?

Hmmmm, if I can find couple hunks of steel large enough maybe I should turn 
that tree carcas into a walking beam hammer. I'm thinking fork lift counter 
weights'd do the trick nicely. Then all I'd have to do is find a couple/few 
people to walk the beam. Hmmmmm.
