Doggy Chew Maul

Recommended Posts

I have been doing some work ... holsters, belts, lots of sheaths. Wasn't happy with my stamping. Read that I needed to upgrade to a decent granite surface and a heavier whacker. I was using a wooden mallet. So I decided I needed a maul. Instead of buying, which would have been simple, I decided to DIY. I used some doggy chews. Went down to PETCO and bought some, then soaked them in water. Nailed them to a frame I built out of 1 x 3's. When dry and flat, I cut out circles and made the rawhide part. Instructions on how to do that right (in other words I did it wrong the first time) are found here: http://leatherworker...92

The core is a 9 inch 1/2" carriage bolt. The handle I made out of stacked leather disks. The black thing is for extra weight. I found it at a farm and ranch store here in Arkansas called Atwood's. I think it is a part used in automatic feeders or gate openers or something. All I know is that it is heavy, and it fits.

I just figured that I should share my experiences.

This is a great site and a great community. Thanks for looking!
