How To Make A Carved Walnut Mallet

[@timothymallon]

Thanks again James! This was quite a surprise to see this morning. I've been sharing the video with everyone I know!

[@ChrisStCyr-gnt7]

You make it look easy. Made mine from a couple branches from a maple tree out back.

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, James! Really stunning mallet! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

Thanks for sharing that, I need to make one, I have a heavy scrap wood, may be I will start with that, I also I start chewing my tongue! it was beautiful!

[@johnford7847]

That IS one beautiful mallet. Thanks for sharing its creation.

[@glencrandall7051]

Nice mallet. I love the carving. You made it look so easy I am almost tempted to give it a try . . almost. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@GrantHendrick]

Great looking mallet. Thank you for the helpful tips.

[@genem2768]

That's a very pretty mallet. I'd be afraid to use it and destroy your artwork but I'll bet it has a nice feel in the hand.

[@Fusion_Woodworking]

You nailed it without a nail.

[@J.A.Smith2397]

Ì really need a printer, I've got the glue stick, the tools and the wood... lol. You make me wanna carve more than anyone else

[@ssrattus]

Thanks James.

[@iainmcculloch5807]

That's such a beautiful mallet. Anyone would be thrilled to receive it.

[@davewest6788]

You really hit that one out of the shop

[@nordsauvage]

Thanks for this nice video and keep up your good work! But this brings me a question. Why do you choose boiled linseed oil over raw linseed oil?

[@WoodenBoatBen]

This video is half-way to being riveting!

[@airford13]

very impressive James!!

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@johnjensen5540]

Beautiful!

[@davidlynn7161]

Very beautiful job.

[@TensileStrength]

I noticed the head is oriented so the end grain impacts the tool. Wouldn't this be the weaker part of the wood, shortening the life of the mallet? Wouldn't it last longer is it was oriented so the face or edge grain was impacting the tool? I'm a beginner so I would appreciate your thoughts on grain direction as it comes to mallets.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

If you rotated the grain 90° then you would have a problem of a head breaking off of the handle. Also with the end grain impacting. It is far more durable than the face grain as the face green tensed to warp and chip off rather than compressed like the end grain.

[@leemarzahl8891]

Awesome build James!

[@dalepatton4861]

Great Mallet! Where can I get Rosenut and Walwood?

[@Heseblesens]

Lovely wood, look amazing. 👌🏼👏🏻

[@seanrichardson-qk2ss]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@Zoso14892]

That walnut joke was definitely forced enough to count as a dad joke!

[@vince55sanders]

Looks Awesome!

[@jessicag630]

Hello. I have a question, not exactly about this video though, but about one of the previous videos. Did you get any cracks or insect problems when getting fresly cut/ green lumber? I have just got a newly cut piece of log, but it cracks and I see a lot of insects eating it deep to the inner part it seems. Could you help with some tips? Thank you.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Send me an email. I'd be glad to help you figure it out. But usually with a log you need to at least split it in half to dry it otherwise it will crack far deeper. You also want to paint the ends so that they dry slower

[@tomware9448]

Does a jointer have a chip breaker ? Found one that looks like somebody has tried to restore and gave up. I need to repair cheeks but other than that it is good shape. Was missing tote but I made a new one. Have made several Krenov style smoothers but first attempt at restoration. BTW like your work.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

All baily pattern bench planes have a chip breaker .

[@michaeldoto4673]

Very nice James, it came out beautiful as always. Offhand, what do think the angle is on the mallet faces? I really want to make one.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

The angle is about that much. Something between something around 10ish degrees

Wooden mallet strikes, Chisels carve life into grain, Craftsmanship echoes.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Dangit! Now I will have to try to make one of these!

[@laurisalo869]

How about making the next one from flornut?

[@waltershoup99]

Great job

[@dpmeyer4867]

My question is how you tell the sex/gender of a wall. I mean the female wall won't give you walnut, and I've never heard of walovary.😂

[@williammaxwell1919]

I frequently use MS Paint because it's simple and quick. There are way better programs with better features, but why use a sledge hammer when all you need is a tack hammer?

[@nodarikirtadze8220]

Yeaaaaah, isn't walnut too soft for a mallet?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

No. Mallet's coming all different hardnesses. Some need to be rock hard and some you want to be soft so they don't dent the work.

[@Craftsman1984]

I want to be beautiful amazing and gorgeous!

[@Craftsman1984]

Huh, well it still counts as a comment

[@Craftsman1984]

Yea ok, sure, but keep it to the "comment about the comments" thing!

[@twistedhillbilly6157]

First,, Nice work.. Then,, It was a little out of character seeing you in front of a computer (running on electricity)... AND,, Do you purchase your hardwood from a retail dealer??? There used to be ways to get hardwood without a retail dealer but many of those resources are gone...
