Don't know what the timber is. It was an odd piece from a building site where they were installing a banister and railing. It is segmented so it gives off quite a nice appearance. The finish is one coat of Ubeaut Shellawax.
It's about eleven and a half inches long or 29cms.

If segments fly off it, you're using it the wrong way... that's what I call the "peacemaker" variety of mallet. :D

Nice Shape. Nice finish. My bet is laminated Merbau. Chippy's in Ringwood sell lot's of it in 90x90 posts. I grabbed a bit one day to practice goblets. Turns up rough but sands and finishes okay? Does that sound like it John?
