Default Another Question
I will work harder on my spelling on this one.

Anyone have a good pattern or profile for a mallet? I have some maple I was going to turn down on my lathe for the 'potato masher' style mallet. Thought I would make two and drill out an end plug and epoxy in some bird shot for weight if needed. I just need a profile to get started.

I don't know about a pattern, but here's a picture of Mallets for Wood Carving from Smoky Mountain Woodcarvers Supply to kind of give you an idea.
