Timber Framing Mallets

Mallets are essential for striking chisels and slicks without damaging the handles. Unlike metal hammers, wooden or urethane mallets deliver controlled force that drives the tool through wood while protecting the tool itself. The right mallet weight matches your work—lighter for detail joinery, heavier for timber framing cuts.

A quality mallet features a large striking surface that's easy to hit consistently and a comfortable handle that reduces fatigue during long sessions. Whether you're chopping mortises or paring tenon shoulders, a good mallet becomes an extension of your hand. These are the mallets that belong in every timber framer's toolbox.
