Woodworker's Mallet

I used some stock left over from other projects to turn this woodworker's mallet. The handle is walnut with a very distinct demarkation line between the heart and sap woods. It extends into the head about 2 1/2" and is attached with 2-part epoxy. The head is pear.

Overall Length: 11"
Max Head Diameter: 3"

Very nice! Any reason why you chose Pear for the head? I thought Pear was fairly soft/not ideal for repeated impact. The sap wood on the handle makes the piece.
