This summer, after weeks of spending every free minute cutting up these two big oaks that fell in the woods behind my house, I realized that I wasn't using any of the wood for anything useful. So I cut a couple of pieces for a project I had in the back of my mind and set them aside to dry.
A couple of weeks ago I pulled them out and spent a little time with the band saw and belt sander. You know how sometimes you just need to have a little "sawdust therapy"? That's all I was looking for.
In the true sense of "form follows function" I ended up with something I needed, but it ain't pretty.
I'm not sure I should post this in the "Woodworking" forum because, other than it being made out of wood, it doesn't qualify. But here is my new "Fred Flintstone Mallet".
I've used it, and it works fine. Not all woodworking has to be fine woodworking.
Sorry, I'm not taking orders.
