Mallet Project





Another project completed was a chisel mallet. Photo collage shows 1 of 2 mallets created. The mallet head is a glued block of figured maple, roughly 3"x3"x5". The handle is just over 12" long and elliptical. Handle and mallet are joined by a through tenon secured with a hand-cut cherry wedge. All planing and bevels were done with handtools. The finish is linseed oil.
