For centuries, joiner’s have used wooden mallets to strike tool handles and tap assemblies together. Wood-on-wood minimizes damage to whatever is being hit. The problem is, once a mallet head is large enough to deliver an adequate blow, it’s often too big and awkward to fit where you need it. Blue Spruce Toolworks has designed an elegant, traditional looking Rectangular Mallet, but we’ve infused the maple head with a tough polymer resin that increases the density by 80%, putting more “smack” in less space. The resin-infused maple not only concentrates the power of your blow, it also keeps the mallet head looking like new through the most demanding work. Even chopping mortises won’t mar the face. To protect your projects during assembly work, we bond harness leather to one of the mallet faces. The leather face is also great when your chisel work needs a lighter touch. The mallet head is both bonded and wedged to the handle, resulting it a satisfying, solid feel to the tool. The Large Rectangular Mallet is perfect for large mortise and tenon work. The head measures 5" long, 2-5/8" tall, and just under 2-1/4" wide. Mated to the head is a 9-1/2” contoured handle with chamfers that soften the edges and deliver positive orientation feedback. The entire mallet weighs approximately 22-24 ounces. The Small Rectangular Mallet is ideal for dovetailing, furniture assembly and smaller mortising. The head is 4" long, 2-1/4" tall and 2" wide, and it is mated to an 8” contoured handle. The entire mallet weighs approximately 14-16 ounces. Due to variations in wood density, weights are nominal. The weights of the mallets include both the head and handle, and they can vary by a few ounces.
