Mallets from cutting board off fall

looking good man – I love the colors and the knurled grips on the one mallet. If you ever get bored of having two – let me PM you an address. :)

Nice use of your off-cuts.

Thanks for the comments guys, they’re appreciated.

These are nice. great use of CB scraps. Is there a strategy behind the faces being angled down?

Well done.

Thanks Greg
For the strategy, I scribe the mallet face to a flat surface as though
I was finish sinking a nail.
That made the angle, although it means my knuckles hit the flat
surface at the same time the mallet does. Oops.
Time will tell if it’s problematic.

Nice lookin Man Hammer. I recently made one myself and also had the head cut at an angle. Ill be using for a chisel smasher and the angle of the head helps to not need a full 90 degree swing to contact. Sweet use of scraps as well.
