mallets

Hello. I've recently been watching many of Paul Sellers' videos and decided to try my hand at building my own joiners mallet. Unfortunately, I'm not having much luck finding a thick enough piece of wood locally to get started. I'm looking for at least a 3" x 4" x 6" block of white oak...

Ok so here's the process on how I first started to make a mallet. I started out with a chunk of cherry. My bandsaw blade guide bearing pooped out, so, I went old school and sawed it up by handsaw... As @Don Ratcliff noted, my cut line was off, but that's only because my buddy James was...

I'm looking to purchase a couple blocks of Cedar Elm for carpenters Mallets. Does anybody sell them on here? I live in Suffolk Virginia.
