A man can't have too many mallets. The bent one is cool.
Is that your toe I see also?

That would be my toe..
I did not really think the bent mallet head would work but it has a decent bounce to it.. some of the wood heads just don't have the right balance and they really need to be just tossed in the fire and try again.

The head I made the other day seems to be working realy good.
The extra weight realy makes it easier on my wrist... not having to hit so hard. Thats probably what killed the other heads was that they were too light. My mallet handle is different such that it is rectangular and tapered fit. It's a bit harder to make the heads but it has a good stable feel when using it.
Anyways thanks for the help and the conversation guys.

Those are nice Mark,, but I think in a controlled test the deadblow would win. Sounds like a friday 5:00 pm test to me!
