Questions & Answers

How much does a head weigh?

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.

Is it possible to get this item delivered to New Zealand?

No idea, but why would you want to when you could just buy a traditional mallet from a local manufacturer?

Is this a good mallet for leatherwork or bookbinding?

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.

Why does the product information (origin) differ from the information provided in the About This Item (origin) section?

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.

Selected User Reviews For ROBERT LARSON 170-1012 Wood Is Good 12 oz. Mallet

I'm the proud owner of two and work in the leather industry
5/5

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.

It's certainly pleasant, but I prefer a non-alcoholic beverage

It's quite effective
5/5

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.

It's fantastic! I'm new to wood carving and chiseling, and the mallet that came with my set wasn't up to the task
5/5

br>I'm a big fan of this. It feels good in my hand, has a nice weight to it, and is well-made.

The mallet is well-made and performs admirably
5/5

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.

After twenty years, it's still a fantastic mallet
5/5

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.

Mallet is a good choice
5/5

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.

Mallet is an excellent weapon
5/5

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.
