Gunnar, you're missing a picture of you holding it and showing your thumb and forefinger touch. Can you post the additional photo? Then we can probably approve it.



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!!!

This is my submission for the club style mallet BB. This was my second attempt - the first ended up as firewood. I am pleased with how the mallet turned out. I put chamfers on the head and handle and used just a knife to give it a smooth finish that's pleasing to hold. It's a bit too long for my comfort, but I left it to meet the requirements of the BB. I'm looking forward to using it.

Found out while volunteering last week, that my county sometimes just burns brush that's too small for sawyers. We cut back some pretty nice black walnut and bitternut hickory and I could not just let them go to waste. Some I'm going to use on spoons hopefully, but decided I would make a mallet from one of the black walnut logs
