Very nice! I love a project that is actually useful! Great project.

That’s striking.. Looks really good it should last a long time.

Very nice! Almost too nice to use.

Great mallet! Good lookin’ handle there. Nice griping areas. Looks like a good size for weight and strike. Cool…..

Nice. I think useful things are the best kind of project too. That’s on my project list when I get time. I’ve been using a rubber mallet but need a wooden one. I guess I’ll have to work on my turning skills. I just got back from down your way. I left Kentucky yesterday to come back to New York. It would have been hard to leave except we are having record high temps here so it’s nice up north right now too. My heart is still in Kentucky even though I’m a Yankee now.

Thanks everyone. I can’t explain exactly how reached the conclusion that you see. All I can say is that it feels right. You’re quite right Dale, My dead blows (3) are rubber or at least rubber coated and use them for many different things but they just don’t feel right with chisels.Jack, i Figured the groves above the grip would deflect the blood so my grip wouldn’t get slippery lol. Robin you’re right i think the greatest satisfaction is in making something that you can put to use.

very cool…i noticed the angle of the hitting surface—-how does it feel?

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

Matt, solid. I read somewhere that 12 deg’s was the correct angle but can’t guarantee that it wasn’t of a degree or two.
