Compound mallet - PEP BB roundwood.sand.compoundmallet

I did take this photo showing the mallet next to a 3lb. hand sledge. Let me know if that works, thanks.

Minimum requirements:
 - Green (fresh) head
 - Dry handle passes all the way through the head
 - Big enough to be useful.  At least as big and heavy as a common hammer
 - Handle that you can comfortably hold
 - No wedge
 - Made with hand tools only

To get certified for this BB, post three pics.  
 - Your chunks of wood that you are starting with (one is clearly green and the other dry)
 - Progress about half way through, with the hand tools you have decided to use for this
 - Final product held in your hand showing that your thumb and first finger can touch (any fatter than that and your hand will get very tired using it)


I pulled this very old stick out of the brush pile. It's a little wet because it just started raining but it has had plenty of time to dry and shrink. I stuck it by the fire for a bit to dry it off more. The bigger piece was from a freshly cut branch - I sawed off a chunk.


I peeled the bark off of the head. This is willow.


I found some sort of auger laying around when we moved in and I used it with a ratchet. At a certain point it was spinning but wasn't going in so I started hitting it with a mallet then turning it with the auger a couple times and then hitting it with the mallet and so on...


Complete.
