couple of mallets couple of mallets No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

Made two of these for Christmas presents, then in the building process decided I wanted one myself. They are made mostly out of reclaimed pallet lumber and some small cutoffs that I had sitting around. Finished with a couple of coats of BLO.

The basic design of the mallets came from ShopNotes #95 Sept. 07. The laminations are thicker in my mallets due to the fact that I don’t have a band saw (yet) for resawing and only resaw on the table saw as a last resort. The mortises were formed after the glue up by drilling the chiseling.

Very nice. I just make mine from oak limb wood and they get trashed when I use them with my fro.

Those are sweet. Did you just form the mortises in the process of gluing up? That seems ingenious to me. Now I have no excuse to make the plane hammers I have been contemplating. Thanks for sharing these.

Can you blog or link us to how they were put together? I and probably many more of us LJs would like to make ourselves a couple of them. They definitely add a touch of hand made craftsmanship to a shop. Nice work there FM.
