Here’s to you Larry. From the first time I saw the Lazy Larry spiral cheese boards, I have been fascinated.
Obviously I stole the idea for my own selfish purposes. Incorporating the spiral into a piece that small was a challenge to say the least. I adapted Larry’s band saw jig principal to use on my router table. This is my second mallet. I wasn’t happy with the first one (I’m still working out a few bugs) Amazing how High School Geometry comes into play on woodworking projects. It was the one class I actually liked.
If anyone is interested, I would be happy to do a blog on the process.
By the way, it is Bubinga and maple

Thank you Kent and I must give credit to my good friend Allan Adlem. He showed me the concept in the first place.. and as I have said all along,, you share you get and if you get you must share.
Here in this wonderful site we can all learn from each other.
I was just about to make a comment about charging for information and then decided it was not worth it. LOL
Wonderful thing Geometry Trigonometry Biology lol
Edit .,, yes I would actually like to find out how you did it.

cool mallet, it is indeed amazing how incorporating a few geometric shapes can complicate things so much doesnt it?
the way I look at it – you can always hypnotize your mortises prior to chopping them out, which might make things easier on you?
I’d be interested in a blog – 1 vote from me
