It's 8" in length total and the head is 2 3/4" diameter. Finished with beeswax It's stuck under my fingernails in the photos. tell me what ya think.

it's lovely...from a lady's viewpoint. I have an old rubber mallet and maybe my husband could make me one of these someday. Good idea on making your own to fit your hand!

Well thank you mam for your comment, I actually sold this one to a friend and I will be making a new one soon. I never found comfortable mallets that fit my hand so I make my own, saves alot of money as well.
