Nice, Bob!

When I use a skew, I usually end up putting spirals just about anywhere on the turning!

Hi Lew. Nice to hear from you. Yes, I've had a few sudden reverse screw designs with a skew also. Lol

That is nice. Where did you get your old bowling pin? I wonder if the Bowling Alley ever sells them, or if they discard them? I'd love to get my hands on a couple.

Hi Cajun. A buddy of mine stopped into a local alley and asked for a couple and they gave him a box full.

I made one a few years ago but the bowling pin had hollow spots in it that I had to fill with epoxy. It still turned out to be a handy project. Seems like I read somewhere else that others had the same problem with some of their bowling pins but not all of them.

Bob, your mallet sure looks nice!!!

John.
Yes, you are correct. The original layout of this was an inch longer head. When I hit the voids, the design change was to cut 1" off the top. Bob

Great way to recycle bowling pins, turned into a good looking mallet. Like the shape especially on the handles.
