12 oz. is written on the label. That is most likely the total weight, not just the weight of the head. To me, the equilibrium appears to be in good shape. This model (MA-) is a simple one. 12, WD200) is smaller and lighter than the other models (higher model numbers) listed on the label.
No idea, but why would you want to when you could just buy a traditional mallet from a local manufacturer?
I don't see why it wouldn't work for leatherwork or bookbinding, but neither of these things are something I do. It's only for woodcarving that I use it.
I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with the subject. Back surgery has been completed, and the tool has been stored. I would have looked for a fake country stamp.

It's incredible how different the sound is. I now have the 20oz and 12oz models, and I don't work with wood at all. LEATHER is a material with which I work. Because I live in an apartment and work with leather by tooling, stamping, and carving, silence is essential. And I can't hit it any softer because that wouldn't give me the kind of indentation I need in my leather goods. I'll be a living example of how drastically different the sound is when the same tool is hit with the same amount of force and produces the same result, but with a different mallet. It's amazing, to tell you the truth. Thank you.
Mallet with a tapering shape. It's certainly pleasant, but I prefer a non-alcoholic beverage. Mallet with a tapering shape.
Despite the fact that this is a wood carvers mallet, I bought it to use with my chisels. It turns out that I prefer this type of mallet for joinery because it allows me to have better control over my chisels than a more traditional square headed mallet.
br>I'm a big fan of this. It feels good in my hand, has a nice weight to it, and is well-made.
This is a great mallet for wood carving and other projects that require less force. I also have a 20 oz. bottle. Chopping dovetails are a good example of a larger-scale model. The urethane cover absorbs shock while still allowing force to be transmitted.
My very first wood-burning stove was purchased. More than two decades ago, a good mallet was available. I missed it terribly while I was separated from it in a faraway location, so I purchased another. The compliance of the urethane head is just right, allowing it to transfer momentum to the chisel without causing too much shock. (If you have an engineering degree, you know how important damping is. ) The impulse response's extremely high frequencies are filtered out). For those of you who aren't familiar with the term, engineer- You'll get a smooth transfer of "power" from the mallet to the chisel, and your chisel handle won't be beaten to death. br>br>It has the perfect feel and balance, and every woodworker should have one.
For the leather work I do, I needed a good mallet. The Wood Is Good mallet is quite nice, with excellent craftsmanship and a pleasant feel to it. The price is about right, perhaps a little high for a poly mallet with a wood handle, but overall reasonable. If you're looking for a good no-nonsense poly mallet for leather stamping and other similar tasks, this one will do the job well and at a reasonable price.
This is a great size for carving with a chisel. It's not too big and can be carried around for longer periods of time.
