I like it very much

Could you give me the dimensions?

It just looks as if it is right for the job

I only use a 1/2” mortice chisel and I think

this would have the whallop :)

you have been busy. There is nothing like a shop made mallet.

Jamie: the head measures 3 1/4” wide by 5 1/2” long and just under 3” high. I made it by laminating two pieces of 3/4” maple together twice. so that I had two 1 1/2” sides, then I measured and cut the middle one to allow space for the handle. I had the handle left over from a cut off of an earlier project. but its just four 1/4” pieces of maple with a 1/4” piece of black walnut in the middle. I left the walnut long in the middle to give it the little end to stick out on top.. thought it would look cool like that, and I like the look. once its all glued together, just shape it to your desires.. I made the striking face about 2 degrees off handle so that when you swing it, you hit with a more solid and flat surface. Cant wait to see yours.. have fun and swing a big mallet.. Papa
