A better mauls trap

Recommended Posts

anyone ever made something new... really new? I've been shopping for a new tapered maul. I'm so very tired of google only giving me barry king or tandy as an option. All of a sudden I had a mad flash of inspiration. I don't know if I can make a maul but my concept for one is original, patent pending original. I will spend sunday making a proof of concept.

PS sorry for the teaser but that's how I roll.

What head material are you looking for?

I've seen some excellent ones on woodcarving and stone carving sites over the years

I'd love to see those. I'm playing with leverage for a consistent strike. I figure I can lift a rock and hit a stamp. Or I can lift a balanced tool and guide it to hit the stamp for me. one of my crazy ideas! I'm waiting for my new Russian maul to arrive so I can adjust it :)

I've been using small rawhide and larger lignum vitae for ever, keep looking at Veritas brass mails.
