"Bob Beard Special"

[BearMan]

Good morning everybody,

Most every Leather worker, that's been around for a while knows about the great mauls that Bob Beard made. I feel it's time to honor him & his maul design.

I feel that Imitation is the sincerest form of Appreciation,,, as long as that person approves. Bob told me that he would be Honored,,, so here is my version of his mauls. It carries the same major dimensions, with a couple small styling changes. The handle is Cocobolo, & of course the head material is the same type that Bob used in all of his mauls. Nothing fits or preforms the same, as this design and this head material. Those of you that have one of Bob Beards black mauls, or the newer Ed the"BearMan" brown mauls, know the benefits of this type of head material.

This "Bob Beard Special" is 18 oz, & is going into my personal collection. Thanks for looking,,, Ed the"BearMan"

Ed,

As I stated earlier, very nice looking maul.

Since this a Bob Beard Special are you going to stay with the cocobolo handle (his preference) or offer handles in other materials but the Bob Beard handle style? I didn't ask that the other evening but was wondering.

Regards,

Ben

Thanks, Terry, Sheridanman, & Ben,

Yes, I will be selling these, they will be around the same price as my "Grand" mauls. I'll be offering these in the 14oz to around 22oz range. The first 4 are already designated, 3 are going to some people that I owe some special thanks too & #1 is for my collection. I'm planning on numbering the first 25 or so. Yes, I believe I'll be set on using Cocobolo, as it is one of Bob's favorite.

Thanks,,, Ed the"BearMan"

Ed,

What's the price of a 16oz'er, I think it's about time I get a new maul. Will they all be straight heads or can I get a tapered head?

Hi Marlon,

This head material doesn't take to that type of machining. I sent you a PM. Ed
