Harry Marinakis Report post Posted February 2, 2024 (edited) 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).

AndrewWR Report post Posted February 2, 2024 Gottaay I prefer the recessed nut: Cleaner lines. Another great job of turning too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarshalWill Report post Posted February 2, 2024 Those are exquisite mauls. I also like the recessed nuts on the latest one. Outstanding work. Makes me want to run out and get a small lathe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
