From Firewood to Mallet
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
From firewood to mallet.I've always wanted a Lie Nielsen mallet made by Blue Spruce. I like the shape, feel, and compact size. It's a beautiful mallet but out of my budget so I decided to make my own.I drive by a firewood lot every once in a while and love to stop by and see what I can find. There are mounds and mounds of all kinds of wood. The wood is already split so it isn't much good for furniture but it's great for small projects. I found some River Red Gum Eucalyptus firewood (really heavy and hard) with some nice figure and made a mallet out of it.
