My old rounding hammer handle gave out mid-shoe on a draft horse last Thursday

I was finishing the clinch on a front shoe when the ash handle snapped right at the head, sending the hammer flying into my tool box. I had to finish the job with my cross pein, which was not ideal for that last bit of shaping. What's the best wood for a replacement handle that can take a real beating?

Ever try a good piece of osage orange? That stuff is like iron.
