Having finally got my dissertation out the way, I've been able to use some black walnut I had lying around from my plane and a block of maple. Sadly the maple had a crack in it so I had to use it for something else.

I was due to be buying some clefts from Gary now, but my guitar amp suffered a disastrous failure and £113 bill left me having to delay that a few weeks.

Anyway here's the knocking in mallet I made from part of the figured maple block and some laminated slices of black walnut. Hope you guys like it.

Thanks, it's getting another coat of wax today. I thought about putting some kind of satin finish lacquer/sealer on it but I'm not really too sure what would be suitable. Anyone got any suggestions?

Very pretty, you might want a bit more curvature on the face before anyone actually uses it though.

Made this bat width gauge over the past 2 days. Flamed Maple and Ebony fit nicely together and it compliments the Maple and Black Walnut mallet I made last year. Hope you guys like.

Bat width gauge and the mallet are pieces of art mate!

Nice job fella. Whats the deal with the different shades of timber on the shave? Did you have to scarf a new bit on? Planes look tasy as well. I'm thinking of making my own concaving plane like Fletch has on the other thread now.

I had to attach a piece of ebony to the front of the spokeshave as the mouth was so open and worn it didn't function correctly.
