Made from rock maple and jatoba, leftovers from a Spagnulo cutting board. The layout is from some magazine, a few modifications so that I could use my cut offs.
Second big project, woot!
Mistakes: didn’t know to have the end grain of the maple on the business end of the mallet

Oh yeah, I also made a big crack in the handle when I got a little too aggressive with driving the wedge (at the top) home. :D

Looks great,
May I ask what sort of joint you used to join the two handle parts together?

A great looking user mallet. Nice job on the reuse of offcuts.

@ Yettiman
I believe the ancient Egyptians called it a wedge and glue joint. Though mostly glue.
