Big ol' mallet

Project by CJay posted 116 days ago 429 views 0 times favorited 6 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I enjoyed making the joiner’s mallet and decided to use up some more oak off cuts, after finishing the mallet i realised its much bigger than the old one (about 1.5 times bigger). I had some time to kill and as it already reminded me of a thunder god i added the design (my first carving attempt). The black paint is Hammerite (it seemed strangely appropriate).
I also cleaned up the beech mallet which is for small delicate work when total destruction isn’t needed

I like the carving also… The squared handle might be uncomfortable after a while though.

That is absolutely awesome. Striking! (pun intended). Gives me an idea to ebonize my next carving. Gotta make the mallet first though! Again, beautiful.
