Chisel mallet

Looking for a good source for a Chisel mallet for dovetails

Thanks

You cant go too far wrong with the Blue Spruce Mallet:

There are all kinds of mallets that work for chisels. Flat faced ones, round ones, polyurethane ones, brass ones, etc. There are also hammers that can be used as chisel mallets. Japanese chisels are conventionally used with a Japanese chisel hammer. I personally prefer a round one made of wood (beech or maple) as it gives me more feedback than the others. I like Blue Spruce, but they are pricey, but you may not want to spend that kind of money on one. I've made my own out of lignum vitae (excellent hard wood). You may also want to check out Lee Valley, Woodcraft, Tools for Working Wood, and Rockler to see their offerings.

How about going on the Woodturning forum and asking if someone would be interested in making you one. Maybe you could glue up a blank for them. Just a thought

I made a couple of mallets but I like the smaller head, I like to see my hand on the chisel when I'm hammering.
I'm on my 3rd one in over 30 yrs of ww, I originally got one for automotive repair but I like it so much I use it when I do chisel work.
And they aren't to expensive, you can spend a lot of money on mallets unless you make your own, and they get beat up anyways.
