Review on Rock Maple Mallet by UJ Ramelson by Andrew Krishna

I used a wood carving hammer. It worked like I thought it would at the time. Then I was told that real woodcarvers use a hammer. (Like sculptors on their stone.) So I feel like Michelangelo, I get it. It's better than a hammer because you don't have to hit the square end of the chisel with the flat part of the hammer head. You will never miss. Why did not I think of this? I think hardwood maple is a good choice, but some people have told me that oak or teak, which are heavier, are better. Maybe yes, but I'm not good enough to be a part of it.
