Wood Turned Carvers Mallets 

I have made a batch of wood turned carver’s mallets. Each is made from 2 pieces of reclaimed tropical hardwood. The hardwood used for this piece was originally ship dunnage used under steel that was shipped to the Port of Portland, Oregon. The joint between the 2 pieces of hardwood, attaching the handle to the head of the mallet, is a radial finger joint. I cut this joint on the CNC router. After wood turning the mallet, it was sanded to 1000 grit and finished with walnut oil.
