Making More Mallets

I am using up the last few pieces of ship dunnage tropical hardwood that I have for making mallets. I am going to use this wood for the heads on a new batch of mallets. I will use more readily available maple and walnut for the handles. Also, I made two segmented mallet heads. One is birch plywood made into a woven pattern on the outer surface of the mallet head. For the other segmented mallet, I glued together a stack of bamboo plywood and wood turning that into a mallet. I made the joint between the mallet head and the handle on the CNC router by cutting a radial finger joint. I also roughed out the shape of the mallet on the 4th axis of the CNC. After that, I finished the final form of the mallet on the lathe. After sanding, I applied walnut oil.
