Project Information
I lurked myself into this years mallet swap - my first ever.
I'm very gratefuel that they accepted me in as I'm from Norway - so international shipping was required to make this work.
I made three mallets, one jointers malley, one brass journeymans mallet and one carvers malley.
All handels were made of walnut and painted with several layers of lacqure. At the end of each handle I imprinted the initials of my recepient.
For the carvers and jointers mallet I also added a brass ring between the shaft and the head. The head was made of birch.
The head of the carvers mallet was mounted with a blind tenon and wedge and glue.
The jointers mallets head was mounted with glue and two wedges.
The brass head was mounted by threading it and using a 12mm rod that also was threaded and epoxied to the handle.
