I made this from sapele and maple, and I added a little chip carving and inlay decoration on top. This was my first turning project and the first project on my treadle lathe. I learned that summer treadling in the garage is a sweaty endeavor.

Agree with above, stunning mallet. I have been mulling over a mallet in my mind the past several days. I love the one you made. It’s funny how little unexpected details like the ones on yours makes all the difference in the world. It really makes it stand out.

Very nice mallet, I love the inlays. I can imagine how hot working a treadle lathe would be in the garage in the summer.

I started my turning career on a homemade springpole lathe..found it a ton of fun & needed no electricity! Green turning on 2 levels! Keep enjoying yourself
