Round mallets permanent collection

The round mallets, or bottle hammers, from Mappa Tools have just the right weight of around 500 grams (17 1/2 0z). Our mallets are made by hand with the greatest attention and  from the best materials we can find. They are well suited for the fine chisel work.

The permanenr collection has the following variants:

• Infused regular American Maple of Balkan Curly Maple head
• Handles in African Blackwood and Cocobolo
• Polished without any finish like oil or lacquer
• Total length is 215 mm (8 1/4 inch)
• Length of the head is 90 mm (3 1/2 inch)
• Maximum thickness of the head is 58 mm (2 1/4 inch)
• The weight is around 500 grams (17 1/2 oz)

The round mallet is one of the oldest type of hammers and still unsurpassed for use with chisels. Your eyes can focus on the workpiece and with the round mallet head you always hit the chisel right.

The wood of the mallet head is completely saturated with a synthetic resin under deep vacuum and is then cured in an oven. The result is a hard and dense mallet head that will last a lifetime and of which the figuring in the wood really pops out.

Our hammers and mallets are polished and not finished with oil or lacquer. You can easily sand any minor damage and polish it back to a high gloss.

We get very positive reactions. You really have to hold the mallet for a while to feel the balance, how they feel in the hand and how beautiful the wood looks. You can grab the mallet at the handle or with the head between your thumb, forefinger and middle finger and then with the ring finger and little finger on the handle. Try it! It really becomes a precision tool.

You can see and try our ‘permanent collection’ mallets in the shop at one of our resellers. The ‘limited editions’ are only sold through the website or at the events we attend like Harrogate. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
