Mallet

By FWW_Gallery, member Oct 24, 2012

Woodworker: Andrew Rivard

During his second year in medical school, Rivard enrolled in a woodworking class and made this stout 11-1/2-in-long mallet, based on one featured in a book by Chris Pye. The handle is bulletwood, a straight and sturdy species historically used for ship masts. An ebony wedge secures the lignum vitae head to the handle. The mallet has a linseed-oil finish.
