Period correct AND gorgeous

I made another tooling maul with parquetry. This time I recessed the bolts. The pommel swell is essential for a good, loose grip. I wanted this one to be smaller and lighter for more precision work, so I used lighter woods. Pine Giant Sequoia Madrone Camphor Plum 10 oz. UHMW head (2.5" tall x 3" diameter) 14.5 oz. overall weight. The larger maul has a 16 oz. UHMW head (3.5" tall x 3" diameter) and weighs 23 oz. overall. If you could have only one maul, then I think a perfect one-maul-does-it-all would have a 12 oz. UHMW head (3" in diameter).

GOOD IDEA!

I turned my wood mauls with a flat top. But I just knock them over all the time, so I don't stand them up.

There's a story behind the reason that an acorn nut is not there. I'd tell you, but I don't want to embarrass myself.

Cheap 4x36 belt sander. They don't last long, plan on replacing it every 5 years.

I am looking for a leather with very special characteristics. - Soft as chamois -Anywhere from 5 to 9 oz. thickness -Doesn't stretch -Light cream or natural light color I was able to obtain this leather from Promise Land Tannery, but it's not available anymore. They advertised it as Latigo. Does anyone know where I can get such a leather? Many of us are looking for it, but we can't find it.

How to set pearls and jewels into leather?
Harry Marinakis replied to Harry Marinakis's topic in How Do I Do That?
Thank you Hilldale I searched on bezel but found only blanks, earrings, or pendants. Nothing that would even remotely suitable for leather. I guess I'll have to solder my own settings. -

Thanks but that suggestion was not useful. Anyone else have any ideas? -
I want to set half pearls and other costume jewelry into leather. I assume that there is a setting for half pearls and other similar jewels that have a rivet stud. But I don't even know what they're called. I've tried searching on Google, but can't find the correct search term. Can someone help? Thanks.
