This is a little mallet that was requested and then cancelled so I finished it anyway. It is a mallet with a hard maple head and red oak handle. It is 11" long and the head is 1 3/4" x 5 1/2" long. it is finished with Danish oil and then 3 stage buffed and waxed.
It will go in the sale in October.
Cheers, Jim

Don't listen to Pottz, this is a mighty fine specimen of a wooden mallot. In fact, this has inspired me to also make one, to be used as a wooden plane adjuster. The iron tack hammer I've been using works, but doesn't seem appropriate. Thanks.

Thanks for a nice comments, you all!!! It was fun to get on the lathe again. I have been making a lot of steel stuff for people. My lathe might think I've given up on it!!! I do have some roughed out bowls in buckets of chips, It might be time to finish them up soon!

Cheers, Jim

Nice mallet!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Yeah, the closest JJ has made for a sucker is a baby's rattle.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

Jim, that looks great. Even the simple projects can have elegance built in, this one certainly does. You've really been cranking out the projects lately and thank you for sharing them.
