Beautiful Hand-made Mallets for Sale

December 27, 2012 / Mary May / Tools, Wood Carving Tips

I am going to start selling hand-made mallets. These are beautifully crafted steel and brass headed mallets – approximately 1.5 lbs each (my preferred weight for mallets). The handles are skillfully turned in Walnut, Cocobollo, or Cherry. The specific handle details vary slightly, but that shows that they are individually made. David Reilly, who assists me in my classes at Marc Adams School of Woodworking (and also a very talented woodcarver), is making these for me and they are really beautiful works of art – and very functional also!

I prefer the metal mallets over the wooden ones, simply because that is what I started out with, and they are what fits more comfortably in my hands. Also there is something about a metal mallet hitting against a wooden handle of a chisel that seems to hit more solid than wood against wood.

    These are indeed very nice mallets. I have the brass mallet. It is 7 and 1/8 inches tall with the head 2 inches in diameter at its widest. It weighs one pound 5 ounces. (600 grams)

    It is much more compact than my “big green” plastic headed mallet (which really isn’t much heavier), and feels much better in the hand. Whether flailing away with its full length or choked up and gently tapping, it’s a great mallet.

    Thanks Mary and Dave for making these fine mallets available!

    Let me add my commendation. I just received the brass mallet in the last few days, and spent the weekend playing around with it.By far the best mallet I have ever used, and I have several already. Looks like the old ones are going to be collecting dust, I have a new favorite!

    […] if I had to bash a chisel, it's not carving but hogging. As for never using metal headed mallets, Mary May uses and sells them. If I could be half as talented as her I'd be happy for a long, long time. And even The Schwarz […]
