Live Oak chaulking mallet for Leon....
This is the tool I make out of Live Oak for boat builders.
Note the knarly grain. That’s why I thought the bowl was Live Oak.
I used to get the wood from a lumber yard in Florida that milled it for
dunnage but they are no longer in business.
I'm presently looking for a new supply.
Since Live Oak has virtually no commercial value it's not readily
available. It comes mostly from trees that are either blown down or
taken down to clear land.
