Some woods
These are some of the woods I have used to make mallets. I've built up a stock over winter 2007/8 and I cannot guarantee to have all of them. Some of the pictures are of mallets I've made in the past and I've included them because they are very attractive and illustrate how much wood varies.
In the 'Stock' column I've put 'Yes' if it's normall available; Some, meaning I have some in stock now, but cannot necessarily get more: 'rare' means I may find some and 'V rare' means you can't get it unless you are very lucky.
The 'Premium' column shows how much extra the wood costs.
