Massive Wooden Mallet Used for Sculpting, Woodworking, Timber Framing, or Masonry Chiseling. 

Between 6-7.5"" across, 10" Over All Length W/ Handle

Refurbished as follows: Mallet was very dry and the striking edges were rough and not dressed as is proper for such mallets after heavy chisel strike use, which draws me to conclude it was a sculptor's mallet.  The Handle had been re-installed improperly or perhaps turned during heavy use, causing the head to begin splitting. The handle was removed and properly aligned, removing the unnatural pressure on the head and the small splits addressed with glue. Then the striking edges were dressed with cabinetmaker's rasps as I do when they get rought like that, sealed with orange oil and beeswax, allowed to dry thorouhgly, a coat of sanding seal varnish and a top coat of lacquer and then polished with museum grade wax. I was pleased with the results and this should make a fine display piece.

What you get from me. I often purchase tools that come to me with undeclared flaws. I go through them and correct as many flaws as possible and sometimes use the tool for parts if it beyond refurbishing. Replacement parts are no longer made and sourcing them is difficult and expensive. Sometimes, I must purchase another tool just for a single part. I believe in transparency and tell you what I have done. I have decades of experience restoring antique tools. Please look closely at the pictures and make sure this is the item you want before purchasing. Only the item listed is included.
