That is extremely beautiful I worry about that knot though in my first mallet I made I had a small crack just like the one in your mallet and it eventually split the mallet. I know carvers don’t pound very hard at all so may be ok but I wouldn’t recommend him using it for any mortising.
Hello Salko,
Thanks for your comment. Regarding the knot, this is one of the problems of buying wood on-line – you don’t fully know what you are going to get. My friend normally carves smallish pieces in lime or oak so I hope it won’t be a problem.
Cheers, Paul.
