I’ve had strep throat this past week and haven’t felt like doing too much in the shop. I’ve been wanting to make a mallet for a while so I put this together during the few hours that I was able to muster enough energy to get outside. Head is walnut and purpleheart, handle is cherry. Finish is hemp oil.

Looks great, Rob. I like the color contrast, and…..is that your brand? Way cool, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful mallet. Looks like that should take (and give) quite a beating. Hemp oil finish? Awesome. Have you used that for finishing other projects before? How’s it hold up?

That is a fine looking mallet, and a very nice brand as well.

Thanks for the comments guys! I don’t get sick often, but when I do it really knocks me out.
Jorge: that is a beautiful mallet! I love the thin strips of purpleheart you put in the handle. I don’t think I could use it, it looks too nice!
MrDan: I bought a small can of hemp oil on a whim, just because it seemed like a curious finish to use. It produces a nice luster and is easy to apply, but I think it’s probably equivalent to BLO for actual protection.

‘Tis a beaut, Rob. I suspect I need something like that, but haven’t garnered much shop time lately due to work issues. Than won’t resolve till mid May.

We starting breakup here in Anchorage, it is actually 30 deg at 0630 hrs, so during the day the temps get above freezing. It will be good if the melting is slow, because we have way too much snow on the ground…...
