BearMan Report post Posted February 4, 2010 Hi everybody, Well, I finally turned in my "round 2 it", & made myself a maul. Yes, it's the old "shoe Makers Son" situation. I've been wanting to try some Madrone Burl for quite some time. Madrone Burl, is a very light wood, that is extreamly hard for it's weight. It polishes very nice & has a very tight grain structure. But, the main reason I wanted to try it is, that by having the wood, a very light weight, the weight balance, shifts farther up the head. What that means is that, it will give a bigger impact, with less weight. Just in the little bit that I've used it, it feels pretty nice. This one is 17oz. Here are a couple others I've finished in the past month or so. One is Bolivian Rosewood, & the other is Hububali. Ed the"BearMan" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BearMan Report post Posted February 5, 2010 Hi Ben,,, & King,,, Yes,,, I just had to. I guess this means I Mauled myself??? hehehe I'd be ashamed to show anybody the ones, I've been using! hehehe I even, still have & use the one that Bob Dellis helped me with,,, soooo many years ago. But, I will be adding more from time to time, to replace the differnt weights,,, until I get the assortment done, probably a 10 oz, a 13oz, a 17oz (which this one is), & a 19-20oz. That should be about right for me. Ben,,, I'm sure you'd like this latest one,,, the balance is Perfect! I see, a LOT more Madrone Burl in my future! I think it's going to be my wood of choice. If anybody wants something darlker,,, I'll stain it,,, even purple,,, if they want,,, hehehe Take Care,,, & thanks for looking!!
