Jatoba and maple mallet

[Stephen Ash]

Hello everyone,

I didn't have a proper mallet, and I couldn't bring myself to buy one, so made one out of scraps. This is jatoba and maple, and the veneer is black dyed anigre.

Best regards, and thanks for looking!

The black dyed veneer really sets it off. Nice mallet!

Are you really going to use it? :confused:

[Stephen Ash]

Thanks for all the nice comments. Yes, I'm definitely using it -- after all, it was only slightly more difficult to make a fancy mallet than a plain one...

What did you finish it or is it that gloss just from the flash?

[Stephen Ash]

It has some tung oil on it. I'm sure it didn't need anything, but I love that part when the wood comes to life...
