I think I was using oak in that video. I have used many other woods, some are much better than others because of strength or splintering problems. Poplar(aspen) and ash tend to be poorer as finsihed products. Oak and mahogany are nice because of the tighter grain. Exotic grains like fruit trees might be nice too but the knots in small pieces like the handle might break.

The wood shavings on the handle technique is called burnishing. It is actually one step beyond the last sanding grit. Kind of like rubbing your hands together til they “burn”ish. It just makes everything polished and much smoother than sandpaper. Thanks for watching.

Why do you hold the wood shavings on the handle? Oh great video by the way.

Sure, that’s what all my videos are meant for – learning. My account is a director account which means it is linked to my webpage. But the link is doityourselfvideostoredotcom. Check on the Construction page.

The way he says about is funny
April 26th, 2009 on 10:04 pm
did he just say “lathe it down”?
isn’t the proper term “turn it down”?

Hi, I teach wood turning in a junior high school and I was wondering if you would let me use your video with my students. I can`t use you tube at school so could you send me your document.

it should be called lathedust, not sawdust

Sorry, folks. The comments were blocked for some reason. Just saw it today. Sorry.

Yes, you are quite right although an oval is not what makes a mallet. This being a sample of about 40 minutes some things do get covered more quickly. However at 2:50 and on you will see detailed instructions on making the oval shape of the handle. Thanks for watching.

i thought it was gonna be oval?? never even mentioned it but at the start of the video

It is dangerous wearing your sleeves that close to your turning work.
