wooden mallet
Soft-blow striking tool
A wooden mallet is a hammer with a large head made of wood, used when a metal hammer would damage the work surface.
Carpenters use them to drive chisels, craftspeople use them for assembling joints without marring wood, and judges use ceremonial versions as gavels.
