Shop mallet

[Terry Q]

I can't believe its taken me so long to make one of these. I used to get by using any old chunk of wood I laid hands on. Now I am official. My wonderful wife teases me about all the wood I have laying about, and she is right. That's what happens when you are friends with an arborist. I have a side by side refrigerator/freezer in the shop. I keep beverages in the frig and "special" wood in the freezer. I had saved this piece for lidded boxes but made this today. Its a root flair from a hard Maple. It has a couple coats of boiled linseed oil as a finish.

A lovely looking bit of timber Terry. And a sturdy looking mallet too.

I seemed to have missed this one Terry. A great looking mallet and I am sure you will get plenty of use out of it, mind you it would be such a shame to hit anything with such a lovely grained tool like this.

It's a great mallet, it's a shame to use it.

A nice piece - I just think it's a pity you didn't make pen blanks out of that lovely wood, Sob! Sob! Sob!
