Gavels

gavel,blockand maulThese unique gavels are turned from fruitwood; apple and pear being abundantly available in our home county of Herefordshire. The gavel and block displayed has an apple head with a pear insert, handle and block. The dark rings are scoured into the pieces during the turning process. Each turned component is finished, sealed and waxed on the lathe.

The round headed gavel, or "maul" as it is technically known, is turned from a solid piece of "spalted" applewood. Spalted is the term applied to timbers that have additional decorative features introduced when the wood has been affected by a fungal attack. Mauls of this size are designed to stand upright, on a flattened head, whilst not in use.

We specialise in turning gavels and mauls of various designs therefore please contact us with your specific requirements.
