After doing my research, beyond some of the more normal designs, I found myself thinking about two more personal approaches. One idea was using the least manipulated pieces of wood, possibly with the bark still on and leavin a bit of branch for a hanging hook.
My other idea is to use the construction method of stone age stone axes. Since I'm think of making a small mallet it should still be strong enough.
We have two family get-togethers every summer, one where we have a crab feast and another where we have lobster. At both we use this collection of crappy mallets that always fall apart. I saw a nice version of a crab mallet at Williams-Sanoma and it got me thinking about making my own "good" version.
Here's the mallet I saw at Williams-Sanoma.
