Vintage Wooden Caulking Mallet

This is a vintage wooden caulking mallet measuring approximately 15 inches long. The mallet features a cylindrical head and a hand-turned handle, both showing characteristic signs of use: minor surface wear, patina, and light tool scars. Caulking mallets like this were essential shipwright tools, used to drive caulking irons when sealing the seams between planks on wooden ships. The wooden construction was designed to prevent damage to iron tools and reduce rebound during use.

Its age and genuine wear give it great authenticity for display in a maritime collection or nautical-themed decor.
