I made a persuading stick out of a Lignum Vitae Crown Green bowling ball, a stick of Ash and an off-cut of Wenge for the wedge:

That was my first attempt at a mallet and I expect I'll make more: partly because my other half wants one for leatherwork and partly because I imagine that when I try to use it I'll find I'd like to tweak the shape of the handle and perhaps even the head. Nevertheless I was very pleased with it for a first go.

Very nice, I imagine you could sell plenty of those :thumbup:

Didn't know you were under 4ft tall, must make even the small saws look big in your hands :laughing:

Last time I looked I was 6ft, you need you eyes checked :laughing:

Another spiffing job indeed , I'm still going to like your stuff even though I offered to buy a bowl and you wouldn't sell it to me and then went onto sell at work for charity

Thanks.

The charity bowl sale was timely (being just before Christmas) & easy (no P&P involved). I'm sure I'll make some more bowls at some point & I'll stick them on here (for a charity donation).
