Carpenters build, install, and repair structures made of wood and other durable materials. Their precise craft ranges from constructing house frames to crafting fine wooden furniture and custom cabinetry.

Interesting Facts About Woodworking Mallets

Wooden mallets feature heavy heads crafted from hardwoods like beech, oak, or maple to absorb shock without damaging delicate wood surfaces. Unlike iron or steel hammers, a wooden mallet strikes wooden chisels or wooden joints cleanly without splintering the tool handle or workpiece. Master carpenters select specific wood species depending on the weight and density needed for specialized woodworking tasks.
