A simple but sturdy mallet from Walnut and hard Maple. Enjoy the video and thanks for watching. Please check out my Instagram for project updates and progress: / hariswoodshop #woodworking #diy
The danger with the lamination is that it will tear apart over time with hammering. Just a slight bit of a design change could flip it so that the laminations are not the hammer face.
I’ve never seen cured wood glue laminations tear or come loose. Using this mallet daily for 9 months now. Still as strong as the first day. Thank you for your comment.
@@HarisWoodshop Lamination will separate with hammering when the lamination is the hammering surface same applies to end grain that will hollow out and split. It is just mechanical forces and glue bonds. By just small design tweak you could make it so the long grain side is the hammering face.
