As agift for my BOL and father whi will be making a long drive to assist in
my little barn raising I made some mallets (appropriate for driving home the
oak pegs which will hold the structure together).

They are a bit bigger and heavier than a general shop mallet. They are
13&1/2 x 6 x 2&7/8 and 13&1/2 x 5 x 2&7/8 respectively

Except for the walnut wedges in the sapwood-handled mallet, the wood is
hickory, felled by by BOL about 18 months ago. Both were sealed with shellac
and wax.
