Please see a few wooden mallets that I made.
While they weren't all hand tool made, (the carving mallet was done entirely on the lathe) I did some on each by hand. The handles were shaped with a plane and spoke shave.
the smaller mallet is mad from tiger caspi and maple for the head, and oak for the handle.
The large mallet is Birds eye maple and African Mahogany for the handle.
The carving mallet is maple and Mahogany, which is really too soft for a mallet head, but i guess i know that now!!
