This hand turned mallet is made of African or South American hardwood. I'm not entirely sure what the species is. I believe it might be some type of rosewood or ebony, but if you know for certain, please let me know. :-) I used Mahoney's Walnut Oil as a finish.
The mallet is about 12" long with the mallet end being about 3 1/2" in diameter. The handle is a comfortable 5" long from the base of the mallet to the end knob. The mallet is slightly less than 5" long.
Being made of hardwood, this mallet was made to work! It's beautiful, but don't be afraid to hit something with it! But, like anything made of wood, it has its limits. Wood mallets are great for things like carving and light chisel work, which involve medium to light taps--nothing ridiculous. If you treat this mallet well, though, it will last you decades!
I will ONLY e-mail you when I have a sale, new product, or big announcement. I’m too busy to send lots of e-mails and not smart enough to sell your information.
