Mallet Build. Made from Bloodwood and Maple.

Whether you need a mallet or not they are fun to make and a joy to use. I needed a mallet so I made a couple from Bloodwood and Maple. These mallets each weighed 2.6 lbs which were heavier that I had planned. The next mallets I make will be more in the range of 1 1/2 lbs for ease of use. But these mallets will get a lot of use in the shop !

Edward, I appreciate your use of hand tools in concert with power tools. So many things can be accomplished with hand tools.

Varnish over wax? Wtf?

[@andrewgray9663]

Putting any finish over wax is usually a bad idea. To a great extent wax works by repelling moisture and other things which would infiltrate the surface of the wood including the polyurethane finish used here. Incidentally I don't use wipe on finishes but should this not have been applied with a brush, not an old t shirt?

Yes the mallets look good and I enjoyed the video but you never pu a finish over wax. The finish won't stick
