I made this mallet really for fun, but my other mallet that I made broke in half while making mortises because I believe the glue didn’t bond well to the brazillian cherry wood, so I needed a new mallet. I have some chunks of doug fir 4×4’s left over from my workbench build, so I figured what the heck. It’s through mortised and wedged by hand and the handle is shaped by hand with a spokeshave. Not fancy, but heavy and large and cool to look at. I did this in one night between the hours of 12am and 2am. haha!

Wow that’s much nicer than hitting stuff with a 2×4, you may have something there. Nice job.

The best part is that it was free and it only took about an hour to make it with nothing but hand tools. That’s the best kind of mallet!
