In the October 2020 issue of Wood News, Temple Blackwood shows us how to turn an ancient and well-used carver’s mallet in different sizes and weights.
One day following an email inquiry exchange, a new friend travelled some distance to bring me several fresh-cut, large logs of apple, a gift-in-trade. In the course of our conversation, I learned that the tree had been a favorite of his late grandfather and that he hoped I would replicate his grandfather’s ancient and well-used carver’s mallet in different sizes/weights from some of the logs so he could use them in his own carving.
