Thanks to Steve, Andy, Scott and my good friend Tony for their advice, patience and knowledge.

ALso Thanks to FredP. for the excellent rack to hold the carving tools.

Man, if I knew my picture was gonna get posted I would have shaved and sucked my gut in.

I probably wouldn't have held the skew like a pool cue, either.

And here are pics of my first round objects.
As with clamps - You can never have enough mallets.
This was turned out of a SQUARE piece of hard maple for the handle. Turned down
to approx. 1 and 1/4 " the insert to the working end of the mallet was further turned down to one inch. to fit into and glued to the head. The top or head is from a SQUARE piece of Red oak. and was drilled with a one inch Forster bit to accommodate the handle.


Here's the top view.
