Steel bands on ends - like the old fayre ground mauls. It'll work ? k

Hi K, naw as the head is the wrong way round I will just use it till it breaks then make a new head that’s the right way round , and then put some bands round it if I need to it would look cool with bands round it though ,brass may look cool with the green heart , I would like an old Lignum bowling ball to make a mallet head out of ,or some iornwood

Cheers Mark

i have some rock hard timber you could use if you want mark?

 

i've cumaru, ekki, jatoba, bubinga and even some whitebeam and others that are like stone.

 

i do have lignum but that won't be cheap if you want some.

Will the fact that it’s greenheart make it ok for use as a mallet? I know the grain is wrong way round, but it’ll still be pretty solid!
( obviously it’s cracked so is buggered anyway)
