Nice looking mallet , thats going to be my next project . How deep does the handle run into the head ?

Nice mallet Brian. Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

I’ve been looking for that thing!

Where did you find it?? ;>)

Great job. Now who lost it and who found it. Where was it found and when will there be anothere one there waiting to be found?

Lots of questions.

Brian very nice job. You did a great job on your wife’s anniversary gift too.

I keep meaning to try one of these (the mallet, not the gift for your wife) and never seem to get around to it.

Karson, speaking of questions…
Brian, is “necessity” a hardwood or softwood? Is it an exotic or a domestic?

My Dad acquired a lathe awhile back so while I was visiting last year I just had to play with it and made a mallet. It looks like the old gavel style but I love it for many uses and can’t do without it.

-- Bill from Lithia Springs, GA I love the smell of sawdust in the morning.

Nice work. What finish did you use?

-- Chris

Very nice, it looks almost too nice to use.

Chris,

Minwax poly is all that I used on this one.
