Types of Rawhide Mallets

Rawhide mallets are available in weighted and non-weighted designs. They vary in length and diameter. There is an option on the market for a “Split Head” mallet. It is a solid steel core hammer that holds replaceable rawhide heads on either end. When the rawhide is worn down or damaged, it can be replaced rather than buying an entire new mallet.

Standard Rawhide Mallet

The standard rawhide mallet is just leather rolled very tight, soaked in a resin or hardening compound and attached to a wood handle. The head is very light and perfect for light tapping on soft surfaces.

Weighted Rawhide Mallet

Rawhide mallets can be purchased with a steel or lead core which increases the weight of the mallet head providing added power to each swing while still protecting the surfaces of softer materials.
