Carver's Mallet

Angico is a tropical wood known for it's density and heavy weight.  It makes an excellent substitute for Lignum Vitae, the traditional mallet wood .

Unlike Lignum Vitae, Angico is not prone to cracking and checking in North American climates. If you have been looking for a hardworking, durable mallet at an affordable price, here it is! 
Protective wax coating.

Weight: 22 oz
Length: 9 1/2"
Head Diameter: 3 1/4"

Note: Angico comes in a variety of color shades from reddish brown to dark purple brown.  Although the color of the mallet you receive may vary from the picture to the left, the quality and durability are not affected.

Made in Brazil
