Here is my best attempt with some sumac. I will sand it smooth and maybe do crazy stuff like oil it after it dries. Sanding green wood no es bueno.

The other day my joiner's mallet blew up. Oops!  Should have been using a froe beatle anyway for the job, but my beatle was already breaking apart. So I made a new beatle.

I certify this BB complete along with your new air badge!  It looks like the handle is pretty fat but maybe you have big hands.

My handle is thick but I'm not sure how stable this wood is, and it's better than the mallet I had before--nothing.  Also I have new blisters. So quitting while I'm ahead. Oh, and I guess my 4 inches went to 5. Or 6.  I'll probably cut that back after my blisters heal.

The wood was from a neighbor's tree that came down, I bribed the tree chipper team with some food from my garden.  I think they were confused.

Staff note :

Keep whittling on that handle, it's still overly rough.

Ok how's this? My mallet went on a 30-minute diet.

Also I forgot my best joke--who will mallet the mallets? The pallets!  (I used a piece of pallet wood as a mallet to hit the blade, the curvy carved piece is a little mallet-shaped).

I certify this BB complete!  Looks a bit painful with that bump on the end rubbing your wrist but you can whittle it off later if you want  

And congrats on your first air badge!

Lucky for me, I remembered to set aside some of the fresh cut maple from the hugelkultur project for my roundwood work.
