Wooden mallet

[Tom Baugues]

I thought this was going to be very straight forward but I learned a few things along the way. Alignment issues mainly. I measured several times and was sure but something just didn't look quite right and once glued up...sure enough. Oh well...for a beater stick it will work just fine. Made from scraps of hardwood flooring (pecan wood I think) and Purpleheart.

Looks good to me. But what do I know. It's wood turning.

Very nice. It looks like it'll whack with the best of 'em!

 

[Tom Niemi]

That’ll work Tom, nice job

 

[Mike Stafford]

Looks like it will do the job.

You didn't say what you were going to beat with it but if you are going to beat wood joints into submission I recommend that you glue some leather on the mallet head faces with contact cement.

Nicely done.

Looks pretty good from here! Doing the split color pieces like that is a lot of fun (if a tad challenging on getting perfect alignment as you noted - yours looks reeeaaallly close so I'd claim it as a win!)
