    I could create a poll that would really start the double entendres, but I won't.

    Shouldn't that be a pole?
    Your endgrain is like your bellybutton. Yes, I know you have it. No, I don't want to see it.

    For fine mallet work, it would have to be by the handle.

    It's interesting to me how many people chose blade instead of handle. I kind of figured that it would go blade for the inexperienced and more toward handle as experience becomes greater.

    As long as there isn't a lengthy discussion on the merit of various butt-chisel diameters, why not?
