I had two types of mallets on my bench – the hammer type Paul uses and a turned round carving mallet – and I used both quite a bit. It wasn’t long before I found myself reaching for one over the other as a matter of personal preference. I’m not sure if it was the fit in my hand or a more effective user experience, but I now prefer a turned round wood mallet when chopping with my chisels. The preference happened without my thinking about it. I think preference for many tools develops this way, buy trying things long enough to really know how they work for YOU.
