Mallet love
Jun 5th, 2021 at 5:12am
 

I bought a wooden mallet for my woodworking.
Always felt the normal hammer was not right to use with a chisel.

This is beautiful. 100% wood, no metal in it.

I took it home, cradled inside my shirt, beside my heart.
Cleaned it, lightly sanded it, then started to prepare it with boiled linseed oil

Hi Sprint,
you need to put linseed oil on all wooden tools.

Did you round off those sharp corners on the handle? Ouch.

A perfect canvas to personalise with a bit of pyrography before the linseed oil.

I love my Mallet and she has been with me a long time.

I remember having to make one of those when I was in first year high school in woodwork.    Mine looked nothing like that, the handle didn’t fit properly and the teacher ended up using it for a wood glue demo.   Luckily, school army cadets started and I joined that instead

I used one of those in woodwork at school. Remember my teacher saying that it was the only thing to hit a chisel with. I still have one I inherited from my uncle.

aaaahhhh, I had to google pyrography.

Wow, never thought of that.
My mallet has soaked on 1 face for 3 days, the opposite face for 2 days. Now on the top of the handle. It looks gorgeous already. Will oil the handle using just a rag.

Might hang it on a wall upstairs.
It's beautiful, it's wood.
