I just finished making a nice and chonky  compound mallet. it has a nice weight to it so I think it will be really effective.

I also made a tiny one too, just for laughs.

My first one broke before the handle passed through the head completely, so this is try number two!  I used poplar wood for this project and I love working with it.

Compound mallet - green head locust, dry handle apple, tools handsaw, eggbeater drill, vice. I'm leaving the bark on for now because I think it gives better grip. If you use a pilot hole you can work from both sides drilling which was great because the heartwood was very slow going.

Note: I'm afraid this very nice mallet doesn't qualify for this badge bit. You're supposed to use a dry-wood handle and no wedge.

Here is my two piece mallet. One piece dry wood the handle and head is greenwood no wedge. Drilled hole all the way through. Then I let it dry for a few weeks so it can tighten.

This was a great little project for me and my son on a beautiful weekend afternoon.  We found a piece of elm (maybe?) that had been cut freshly last week by arborists about a block away from the house, this was used as the head.  The handle is an nice old piece of maple with no cracks that has been dried out for who knows how long.  We used a drawknife, hatchet, bow saw, ruler, and brace with 1 1/4" bit to make this beauty.

First we peeled the green log for the head then drilled the hole for the handle.  I used the handle to hold the log steady while I cut the head to length.  Voila!

It's a two hander for my son, but one hand for me.  It is very comfortable to hold and my thumb wraps around easily.
