Awesome work Kenny. I love all these carving mallets that I've seen people make. I have a few myself, but I still prefer my Wood is Good urethane mallets in use. They are quieter and they don't damage the tool handles on my chisels and gouges like lignum vitae and other hard woods do. 

These probably are a little hard and heavy for carving Andy so I agree with you.  I don't use a mallet for carving though, I prefer more cooperative wood types 😉, but I use this on my bench chisels and it works well for those.  It's even beefy enough for chopping mortises in Oak and so far, no damage to chisels nor mallet.
