Turned out really nice Glen, thanks for posting. like the stain too.

-- Good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from poor judgement.

Turned out great. I like looking at the different designs, I want to make my own mallet soon.

-- Measure twice, cut once, then rout a whole bunch

i watched that episode after you post and really like the mallet. Great job.

O sure appreciate your kind words. Thanks for stopping by.

Oh, I was going to post this thought and didn’t. I really like the contrast between the head and handle, but it would have been easier if I had stained the head by itself and let it set overnight before assembling. But I was just too excited! I had to fit this together!!

At it turned out, I masked it off the head, put a couple of coats of finish on the handle, then stained the head. That helped, but it still would have been better to do it the other way.

That looks great! I really like how your handle is flush with the head of the mallet on top. I hope to make one of my own someday.
