I made a mallet today to be used by the left hand. It doesn't fit the right hand, and is even a bit uncomfortable used that way. In the left hand, however, it fits like a glove.
The length is about nine inches and it is made entirely of Live Oak (Quercus virginiana), a very dense wood with a specific gravity of 0.88 (water being 1.0). The mallet is finished with several coats of Linseed oil and furniture wax.
