Basic Turned Mallet / First Turning

A woodworking friend offered to teach an ‘Intro to Turning’ class to a (non woodworking) club we both belong to. I took him up on the offer, and yesterday turned this basic mallet. Man, turning is fun.

Please, get a lexan face shield though, it’s a good thing. Enjoy! What wood did you use? badger -- "I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe." -- Jango Fett
