Hammer placement question

[Scotty Fraiser]

I bought a 1 inch hammer a couple months ago. Looks great and extending greAt. My question is it was just 1 stem. The stem fit perfectly into a hole on one of my rocks. Almost all the way up to the collar. Will it grow new stems this way? Looks to me like you choke it back in this case. Am I thinking correctly?

IMO, you may need atleast 2-3 inches from the rock as that one head will split into two and so on and start to separate from eachother like branches. If you have slack, you can pull it out a little and superglue or epoxy it it place. Thats what I do.

I agree. Just curious what you guys thought. Thanks
