Topic tags/keywords: wanted hardwood mallet

I am looking for a dense hardwood blank I could use to turn my own carvers mallet that is approximately 8” long and 3” -4” diameter. I am open to trades or purchasing the blank outright. Thanks in advance.

Maybe Maple, Walnut, I have a pretty good chunk of Osage Orange you can have, you pay shipping. I can get a picture of it tomorrow if you are interested. -- Improvise.... Adapt...... Overcome!
