I’ve been building wooden mallets. This mallet is still rough but far more refined than my first effort. I call it caveman style. If Barney Rubble was a carpenter, he might have used this tool. Or maybe William Wallace. This wood is from a citrus tree that grew in Joshua Tree. There must be something about trees that grow in the desert; maybe they grow slower due to the lack of water. The growth rings are really tight and the wood is very heavy. I went to see my wood guy again but he was low on inventory due to the heat, just couldn’t get out to cut down any trees. I’ll go back in the winter and get some more wood so I can build more mallets. Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed this video, please like and subscribe.
