Project Information
THis was a really great swap for me. First I got a great Tungsten filled banger from HungryPacman which is perfect for dovetailing. Second I got to try a lot of new things, methods, techniques and woods. After making a number of mallets of various woods and handle styles I picked the best three to send off to Tuscon.
The largest has a Brazilian Cherry head and locally harvested Osage Orange. I left the mallet faces square because that's how I use one this size. I use it casework to bag carcasses together with 3/8" soft pine on the case.
The next one has a Lignum Vitae head with a Bloodwood handle. My first time using Lignum Vitae and it scrapes beautifully.
Last is a little banger is for tapping fine carving chisels. Hard Brass head with a Brazilian Ebony handle.
So, my Recipient ThorBojorn88 took MUCH better pictures and here they are - thanks!!
