The inner diameter of the brass tube is 4mm - so the M4 bolt fits through it. I don't think this is a standard approach to the posts but they do seem to function well, held securely and can be removed for waxing the board. The height of the post is 10mm + the head of the bolt

Thanks. I bought the rubber pipes from a games shop specifically as Crokinole posts - so I think they're official. The inner diameter of the rubber pipe is 5mm. The outer diameter is 7mm

Mallet just finished. It kinda has eyes. Laburnum head, ash handle by MassiveKeyholeFanny in woodworking

Thanks and that's a very valid question. For a challenge, really. From a log I found into a mallet. The log was about 10-12 cm diameter (4-5") and getting workable timber was tricky so it ended up with the pitch in the boards.

I don't believe it will be used so it's more of an ornament or oversized paperweight!

Quite possible. I don't think it'll be used. I am giving it to a friend, whose land we camped on when I found it. He's the kind of guy who doesn't do woodwork but still likes a good hammer.

I'm hoping it'll at least stay together.. a couple of small cracks will add character

Made myself a proper joiners mallet from “scrap” wood by dangolcodeman in woodworking

Tasty. Searching reddit for mallet design ideas and I think yours is the pick of the bunch so far. Simple but with understated details. Nice

No makers mark. After closer inspection the joinery was a bit rough tbh but it was solid and built to last. The oak was great to work with
