Hi to all –
I’ve been trying to find a carver’s mallet made from lignum vitae. Does anyone know of a supplier? I suppose it’s possible that they are no longer making them from this type of wood in which case I would ask if anyone has used the type of mallet with a soft (urethane) head and how it performs. Also, is a 15 oz. mallet good for general work (chisels, ect.)?
Thanks in advance.

I just searched on Google for
"lignum vitae" mallet
and six of the first ten hits appeared to be selling a lignum vitae mallet complete or a lignum vitae head that you could fit with a handle.
Highland Hardware has a 14 oz. on sale.
