Project Idea: Turning Leather
By Curtis Turner
Round Rock, TX

This type of handle has enough texture to offer a secure grip. It is very durable and looks better with age. I have turned many mallets but this is the first time I'm making a mallet with a stacked leather handle. The name should give you a clue as to the process. The concept is simple. A series of leather disks are stacked on a metal core glued and shaped to the desired form.
