Pair of Amboyna burl Mauls

[BearMan]

Here are a pair of Mauls I made, for one of our members on here. They are a 16oz, & a 10oz, with a stand. The handles are made from some beautiful Amboyna burl, which was supplied by the member. This design uses a hidden retaining nut, to hold everything together, it's a lot cleaner design, than having the acorn nut hanging off the end. The stand is Maple, dyed to look somewhat similar in color to the handles. What do you think??

BTW, The member said I should post the pictures here.

Thanks,,,, Ed the"BearMan"

Very nice and very expensive choice in wood! I gotta say though, the client has taste!

Really great job, Ed! The mauls are beautiful and so is the stand. I love the inlaid leather makers stamp....it really looks professional!

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of these. Ed was great to work and communicate with. Took him just under a week to complete the mauls and stand.

The wood is the amboyna burl and, as you can see, has some awesome grain and burl in it. It just always presents a striking appearance. I've used it on other projects, and have it planned to use on others. It's a very durable wood.

I had been considering for quite some time the purchase of a new maul, as I'm in the process of upgrading some of my tools. After seeing earlier pictures of Ed's work, I knew I wanted one from him. I could only find the wood in a small enough piece to do the two maul handles. So I figured what the heck, let's have two made! The stand became an added necessity, as I did not want these rolling around on the workbench.

Thanks, Ed, for the great work, and I look forward to receiving everything.

Thanks everybody. It was fun making these even though the wood was extreamly hard to turn. Kevin was great to work with, & hopefully he will get them by Sat.

Thanks again, Ed
