My first attempt at a one piece mallet - 06/04/10 08:30 PM
Made from Lignum Vitae
Here it is still in the lathe with a fresh coat of Danish Oil.
It's about 13 inches long and 3.5 inches at the head...and a nice big handle. I have long fingers...and most store bought mallets are too small in the handle for my liking. No idea on the weight...I don't have a proper scale...but it's heavier than anything I've been able to find commercially. My guess is 4ish pounds
I'm going to leave the spur and center marks on it in case I decide I have to remount it and put it on a diet. It's a beast.
