Japanese Mallet Jig.

Came up with this idea, one side drills a 22mm hole (then I will taper it)

 

 

The other side drills 3 holes, 16mm, but the 2 outside taper inwards.

 

One Jig many mallets!

Just playing till I get the perfect design.

Will take along to next JTSG meeting for everyone to adjust planes with.

Get some proper feedback!

 

So just under 2 hours work and I have 4 finished heads.

2 yet to be turned and lots of handle material sectioned up ready to go.

I have decided to go with Yew and Hickory and Holm Oak for handle material.

I have plenty of Ash (your traditional choice) but like to experiment!
