Turning a Branch into a Chisel Mallet

I wanted a new chisel mallet, a round kind instead of the mace mallet I made before, so I decided to use this branch I had lying around, from my grandparents yard. I thought it would be fun to turn it on the lathe to see how it turns out as a mallet - also to see how effective it is, or how easy it is to turn.
