Traditional Wooden
Carver's & Joiner's Mallets
Mallets come in all shapes and sizes. Traditionally speaking, turned mallets are associated with carving and cabinetmakers and joiners use mallets with flat faces. While you would not use a joiner's mallet for carving, you can certainly use a round mallet for joinery. It is a matter of personal taste. We offer tradional wooden carver's mallets from Robert Sorby of Sheffield, as well as wooden cabinetmaker's and joiner's mallets by Crown Hand Tools of Sheffield and Blue Spruce Toolworks.
Blue Spruce Carver's or Small Joiner's Mallet (Made in USA)
Blue Spruce Carver's or Small Joiner's Mallet
The Blue Spruce Toolworks mallet is designed to be very well balanced and durable to give a lifetime of service. The head of the mallet is made from beautiful quilted maple that has been totally infused with an acrylic to fill every wood cell. This makes a very dense and durable head. The handle is turned from African Blackwood and attached to the mallet head with a stainless steel tenon. A small brass bead lends just a touch of elegance. This 1 lb mallet will quickly become a favorite for all but your heaviest striking needs.

TBT Carver's & Joiner's Mallets (Made in USA)
Our TBT (The Best Things) mallets are hand made for us by an American craftsman. These are beautifully made mallets that are made to be used. The brass headed mallets are primarily for carvers who want that sharp impact that a brass mallet gives. The Lignum mallet is a traditional heavy carver's or joiner's mallet. The head is made from true Lignum Vitae, not one of the cheaper species that are often erroneously described as Lignum by manufacturers. The handles are maple on the lignum mallets, and cocobolo on the brass headed mallets.
Note: These mallets are hand made and the weights are approximate. The lignum mallets will come with wax on the head. True lignum takes years to fully dry and the head must be waxed regularly to prevent checking. All old lignum will have some small checks which is part of the natural aging process.
