It's a mallet, but a really good one.

I made a couple from oak. I wish I would have tried the linseed oil technique. They are finished now, so it is too late. Thanks for the review.

I read that same blog entry, and have been toying with the idea of getting one of these if my Lee Valley mallet doesn’t work out.

Good review!

I’ve also been looking at the Lee Valley mallet, you can never have enough mallets :).

Mike – I thought that was “you can never have enough clamps”

Why haven’t you tried to make one? It would allow you to get exactly what you want.

The better answer is “you can never have enough tools” :).

I really haven’t had the time to make my own. At about $25 I felt it was a better investment. I don’t think I could have achieve the same results, unless I had bucket of linseed oil to soak it in.

A very nice mallet. I always thought mallettes are round.
