I found this chunk of wood at a customer's home yesterday and thought it would make a good mallet. Quick project I started last night after work and when I woke up this morning it was almost done. I think the wood is Eucalyptus(it sure smells like menthol working it) and the handle is some. cherry scrap. Mostly done by hand tools. From stump to thump in a few hours. Nothing fancy but I think you should make one.
