Project Information
This mallet is stabilized hard maple. I rough-turned the blank for the head, and stabilized it with Cactus Juice, then finish turned it.
The handle is also hard maple. The head is not glued to the handle … the handle is a 1" diameter shaft that goes all the way through the head and is held is place by the two stainless steel screws, making either the head or the handle replaceable. For a good grip, I wrapped the handle with hockey tape (per Rob Cosman).
The overall length is 9 inches. The head is 4" in length, 3" in diameter, tapering to 2-3/4". Total weight of the mallet is 16.25 ounces.
