Joiners Mallet by chemical_cake
A joiner’s mallet following Mr Sellers’ design, also in oak. The head is laminated from two bits to save a few pennies, I’ll be sure to send an update if it falls apart! The handle started thicker at 1 1/4 in to accomodate the shaping and it’s nice and comfortable in the hand.

The mallet was made using a Laburnum head with an oak handle. I bottled out of profiling the sides as I found Laburnum hard to plane.

The ‘non disputandum’ mallet for heavy work. 1.3 kg (46 oz) including handle. Head is Canadian beech, harvested Glenn and infused with acrylic. Handle is brown ash, split not sawn for straight grain. Stanley #3 shown for scale. Green beech and air dried ash are great to split and work with hand tools. Head angle 5 degrees, handle width 7/8 not 3/4.

Joiner’s Mallet by Russell Holland
Yew and ash mallet made for a friend’s birthday. He’d cut the yew about 8 years ago and had a nice knotty piece of trunk left. The ash handle was from firewood he’d cut this winter. This was my second mallet – I am just starting out, but it is a really satisfying project to take from tree to finished object. Thanks for the instruction – it is much appreciated!

Joiner’s Mallet by Reggie
A Joiners Mallet made out of some type of wood which seams harder than pine. It is from a pallet at work that I thought would be of some use when building my mini workbench. I had to join two halves since I didn’t have a thicker piece. I decided to make a removable handle as Paul Sellers had done in his videos. All done by coming in early to work and whilst on my lunch breaks. Took over a year to decide what to do with this wood and two weeks to build. I cannot thank Paul, Izzy and everyone that are on your team. Your efforts are very motivating to me.

Joiner’s Mallet from Hard Maple around a knot
Joiner’s Mallets by David Berry
22 and 30 ounces, hard maple heads and hickory handles. This two-piece construction with no glue is solid, unlike an old beech mallet that the handle worked loose while I was making these.
Joiner’s Mallet by Paul Olson
Walnut with Poplar handle designed for light, balanced use. Inspired by Paul’s challenge to use hand tools; it particular my father’s restored 408 Sargent Plane.
Joiner’s Mallet by D Boyle
This was made from an ash tree I cut down a couple of years back. I’m not sure if the dark bits are diseased but it was a really nice wood to work with. Finished with BLO. Plan to make a comically large commander/beetle sized version of this soon.

Big Joiner’s Mallet – 7″ x 4″ x 3.5″ + 15″ handle – from firewood, in beech with spalted beech handle
Joiner’s Mallet by Tone
2 beech Joiners mallets: 7″ & 5.5″. I swapped handles for better proportions and fit. The big one is 7″x4″x3.5″ oiled beech and now has a 16″ spalted beech handle. The smaller one is still substantial at 5.5″x4″x3.5″ with the ,15″ oiled, spalted handle originally fitted to the larger head. The wood was all processed from round firewood with only hand tools and a bandsaw..
