Primitive Wooden Mallet Pacific Northwest Coast which I have fallen in

which I have fallen in love with of late

elegant lines

but I think it’s a wonderful object

includes two hot and cold thermoses

I am not quite sure what purpose it might have had other than to serve as a decorative souvenir

Primitive Wooden Mallet Pacific Northwest Coast which I have fallen inSo many beautiful old tools in the world, and I think primitive wooden mallets like this one rate high among them. I love its shape and proportions, the worn dark wood, and especially the way the handle comes through the end. Great for pounding the heck out of something, (or just admiring:) 10 3 4 x 4 x 2 7 8". The wood is well worn with some cracking, but that's part of what makes it wonderful.
