Made this out of spalted maple that was right on the edge of workability. Had it about 2/3 the way done--sanding/shaping--and it BLEW apart while I was using a file on it. I took a pic, closed the shop, and went inside for the night! LOL This morning, I glued it back together and finished it...

The first one: a mallet made out of purpleheart and hard maple. The second: Some new handles for two rasps of Smoked Oak. And the third: a baseball batt made out of Hornbean. All of the projects are finished with a couple of layers Danish Oil. Greetings!
