Of course!  I apologize for my negligence.

I made the club style mallet out of some wood from a tree that was removed at the nearby school. Based on the grain pattern, I believe it to be the trunk of a young ash tree.
This mallet should be a significant improvement over my previous hatchet mallet, which was just a branch that was too fat to comfortably hold.

This is step 1 for me to learn everything I can about round-wood woodworking to build a farm-stand from the land. Let the adventure continue!!!

Yeah, but does being a ninja come with a dental plan? And what about this tiny ad?
