Help, I can’t stop myself.
Too bad I don’t do much chisel work…...arthritis of the thumbs.
Used to teach turning and these are simple projects for the adult classes.
Five piece mallets are simple and the scrapes are plentiful.
Have fun

They are all gorgeous!
I love the shape, dowels and wood you used in the chunky one on the right in the first pic
I can’t wait until I get a shop reno and add a lathe.

As Abraham Lincoln said, “With mallets toward none,...”

So I don’t think anyone will be getting these amazing mallets. :)

The white round one is a Richard Raffan design, which he called a meat basher.
The wood was from a recently felled birch tree and was green and very wet.
Had fun in the adult class letting people experience green turning. What a joy.
I gave it a 50/50 chance of surviving without cracking.
I lost, as there is a 1/4” crack on the other side.
Should have used the soap drying technique.
The large round mallet on the left is from a Wood magazine project.
June/July 2004
One could easily turn any number of interesting shapes opening up segmented colors.
