Hula, I would ditch the rubber mallet and buy a carver's mallet, I use "Wood is Good" brand urethane and this thing is indestructable. The benefits are that it is quieter and it's not going to split like an exotic wood mallet. No oiling it or waxing either. Use a heavy weight and use your wrist, let the weight of the hammer do the work and your arm will feel better. Good luck and keep going. Hey Gecko, Leroy said you are getting your order in. Goodluck also. Danny
