Wooden Mallet 4 ½” Bora 540049, The Well-Balanced Beechwood Woodworking Mallet That’s Ideal for Solid, Damage-Free Striking

Until you pair this wooden mallet up with a good set of chisels, you don't know how important and helpful it can be to woodworking and cutting notches or mortises. Sure, you can use your steel head hammer, but it hits too hard and can cause a chisel to gouge the work. But this wooden mallet is superb and adds just enough heft and measured impact to allow you to make your cuts and notches more carefully. It essentially teaches you to be more patient and improves your work. Five Stars!!

So far I can say that the cut lines and smoothing is very well done. I do not regret this purchase. The mallet appears to be sturdy, balanced, functional and well crafted. You will have to finish this mallet yourself with a good tung oil or polyurethane, etc. Honestly, it's better that way so you can apply the finish or stain that you desire. I like natural finish that I can reapply once a year, you may not.

I am a painter and stone sculptor with a new-found interest in wood. I’ve used this product on wood and as a finishing hammer on limestone. This mallet is durable, lightweight and well balanced. Excellent product and value.

Solid build, the weight is really nice. Overall it's a good deal. It came unfinished and needed a bit of sanding on the handle, but 10 minutes of work got it tuned up nicely.

This is a very nice wooden mallet. Just the right size, just the right weight and it is well made. Basically, it is a stick which makes it seem strange to write a review, but if you don't have this mallet, you're going to search around to find something else to use, which won't work as well, so just buy the mallet and keep it on hand when you need it. I've used mine a dozen times already just in a couple of months.

Purchased for my husband for Christmas. I could not find one local so ordered from Amazon not knowing much about wooden mallets myself. He is very impressed with the quality & I was very impressed with the price. Excellent value for the money.

Now this mallet is awesome. First one I ever used but it is a pleasure to use. Good balanced weight and easy to use. I bought along with some mortising chisels. Never used either before but I have been now successful in hand forming mortises and tenons. love it

Unlike other reviewers, the mallet is perfect. No flaws at all. Will be putting tung oil on it latter. Great value for the price.
