Project Information

I made these for LJ RichBolduc
The brass head is 1-1/2" square bar contoured on the belt sander. One face is flat and the other is convex. The handle is ambrosia maple with a cost of Renaissance wax. Rich says it gets used a lot around his shop especially for seating dominoes!
The other is a polished stainless head on a carbon fiber handle. I made it as I was building some fishing rods. It's a rigid foam core with CF sleeve over it. There's an aluminum bar through it for strength. I put a 2018 penny in the handle too mark the year.
Thanks Neil for running a great swap!

Nicely done Grant. I'm digging the polished stainless paired with the carbon fiber! Very unique.

Those are some solid, good looking mallets. The carbon fiber one looks very high tech while the brass one looks very organic.

I bet that is a handy little SOB. That big chunk packs a good bit of weight but the size gives you some precise control. Might need to find me a big chunka brass…
